Bermuda to Lunenburg Nova Scotia

I won’t bore you with log entries for the 4 1/2 day trip from St. Georges, Bermuda to Lunenburg, Nova Scotia, other than to say that the distance was 725 miles, we made the trip in relatively benign weather and like all good extended passages, it was MOSTLY boring (that’s a good thing). Occasionally, we’ll…

The Love Affair Continues…
