Rain in the morning during our visit to Stop and Shop for final provisions: the perishables that were added to the larder.
Then, Newport. Five gallon jerry cans purchased at West Marine that we will fill with diesel in Bermuda to give us psychological comfort on the return trip. Ten gallons equals about 50 miles of steaming. Then Team One where they kindly replaced a defective foul weather coat from two years ago.
The line waiting for Bermuda immigration where we pre cleared into Bermuda was about 1 ½ hours long but we made it to the skippers meeting with time to spare. The depressing news is that the winds for the first couple days appear to be light and variable. The translation of that is that the lighter boats with taller rigs (as is the case with all the boats in our class) will almost certainly be mast down on the horizon before the end of the day. Sometimes the forecasts are wrong. Please.
