We are back at the west end of St Georges harbor getting ready to return to the main anchorage near the dinghy dock. The winds are 15 to 20 from the west so as soon as we can tidy up a few things we are going to clear customs and head south. The forecast for the next week looks very favorable so we shall take advantage of it.

   We have just been enjoying Bermuda since the last post and yesterday took a trip back down to Hamilton to see doctor Trott again. Fresh x-rays were taken and he declared everything healing nicely. After reminding Nancy to be careful he wished us a safe sail south. Afterwards we headed over to the Robin Hood pub for a full fat boy fry up English breakfast.

   A quick stop at the supermarket and on to a different bus for a trip around Harrington Sound on our return to St Georges allowed Nancy to see that part of the island and take some pictures.

   While in Hamilton I took some pictures of the apartment which I lived in for six months in 1979 while on embassy duty. My job was to be in my apartment from 1900 in the evening until 0700 the next morning to listen for the consulate alarm, should it go off I was to call the police. The entrance was boarded up but otherwise it looked exactly like it did in 79 with the exception that the wall leading to the dock has been shorted. After the Navy left sometime in the 90’s the building was used by the marine police until they moved out to the dockyard. It now sits unused. That tour was the highlight of my Navy career as I went sailing every day, toured Bermuda on my moped and made many lasting Bermuda friendships.

   We met a delightful couple, Charlotte & Dan, on another junk rigged boat, a Badger class, named “Hestur”. Unfortunately we did not get a chance to spend much time together as they were leaving for the Azores but we did get some nice shots of "Hestur" leaving the harbor.

   This will probably be our last post from Bermuda so follow us on the Inreach map share site and we will post again when we get to the Bahamas.

  Looks like I might actually get a couple of videos uploaded, if so they will be at the bottom of the pictures. Cheers
