Wow, I was just out there 3 days after that. I did the return leg of the Bermuda 1-2. Flex in on 6/14 from Boston. It was a process getting the Travel Authorization. Submitting you’re your online application with evidence of a vacine card and PCR test two days before I left and then another before you are allowed to leave the airport. Then quarantine in your room until they email you. (I must be honest me and another friend that was returning on another boat had a nice rental apartment and we had another Skipper drop-off beer and steaks, thanks to Tom Kent on Kent Racing a Class 40).
They had just opened up inside dining the week before we got there and the whole island is still very much where we were back a few months ago. But still my favorite place and my 5th 1-2. Hoping to go on my boat someday but she will need some big upgrades! I was on a very nicely equipped Tartan 35 but one thing it did not have was a second autopilot and yup the inevitable happened and we steered close to 700 miles by hand! 8 days later and finally feel normal again.

So I assume S/V Jenny is adrift somewhere in the North Atlantic? It was tough to see her hull and spreaders banging into that tanker. I wonder what will become of the boat - how long it can stay afloat, where it will end up. I guess eventually the guy would have run out of water and provisions.

Bermuda requires a covid travel authorization and test, but I'm shocked they refused entry. However, they are Covid-paranoid, as almost every case they have seen has been from a foreign traveler. I know another sailor who was permitted entry to make repairs on his way to Puerto Rico this winter. Wonder what the rest of the story is.

I’m posting this thread because there may those amongst the list that will find this interesting. This post is somewhat C&C related because the subject of the video upgraded his boat near mine. He just did his upgrades with much more alacrity. Kim is an acquaintance of mine, lives in the same town and has attended more than one of our annual Sock Burning Parties. I’ve assisted him with some of his projects. Prior to his setting sail for Bermuda, I worked along with another very experience offshore sailor (in the yard repainting his Valiant 42 with triple spreader carbon rig) to get him prepped and sorted away. The Valiant owner leant Kim his life raft. Having raced to Bermuda in the past Kim was keen for any insights that I could impart. I told him to stay away from the Swizzle Inn rum swizzles and take the round-abouts in a clock-wise direction... I don’t have any insights or knowledge of events other than what is portrayed in the video and I’m not going to speculate. This voyage was a long-term dream of Kim’s. His boat is a mid-to-late 80’s Jeanneau, around 35 feet.
