Re: Stus-List Bermuda to Norfolk
I didn't wreck any, but my brother and some other crew did. My brother crashed on the way to the dive boat, so I wrapped his leg with a garbage bag and duct tape to keep blood from attracting sharks. This seemed like a GREAT idea at age 16 LOL. As for cruising, I have a Cruising Guide to Bermuda around someplace. You certainly can do this and there are places to go, but it isn't like say the Chesapeake or even the BVIs. There is Saint George at one end and Hamilton at the other. Think Annapolis and Baltimore scaled down with nice blue water. In between are coves you can anchor in, but the whole island is developed and residential. There are no real isolated coves that I can recall and the nicest beaches are obviously facing the ocean and you are not going to want to anchor off a beach exposed like that. So the most likely cruise would be going from one end to the other with maybe a midpoint stop. Be prepared to spend . The last time I was there we had no defined date to leave, it was stay until the cash was at 0 and then go. We left a lot earlier than I thought we would!

Stus-List Bermuda to Norfolk
I completed my sail yesterday on a Pacific Seacraft 37. We saw almost everything in terms of weather- winds from 0 to 60, seas, 0 to 10! I've read about Gulf crossings with heavy wind and seas and thunderstorms from out of nowhere. We hit the trifecta - had all 3. Details are probably too long to post, but are at at www.facebook.com/TheOffice35. It will be different next year when I do the A2B! -- Joel 301 541 8551 ___ This List is provided by the CC Photo Album http://www.cncphotoalbum.com CnC-List@cnc-list.com

Here are the numbers for my slightly larger LF38; all lines led back to the cockpit. This is from an order I placed with Cajun Ropes in 2007 -- they had all the lengths on file.

How did you like St George's? Were you at the Dinghy Club, or just anchored out? And BTW, yes the food at Wahoo is good.
