Here we go!

11:12pm. Thursday June 18. Raining pretty good and so it's awfully nice to be under a roof tonight. It's fun to look at the www.iboattrack.com site and see all the boats in Sippican (Marion) Harbor ready to make the trek toward the rock tomorrow. Boat tracking brings an extra little magic to this event IMHO. We raced J80's at the club tonight and had to use every once of discipline not to join the Goslings Party that looked to be going pretty well around 8:45 -- smarter to get home and pack the… Continue

Provisioning

Hosted by Gian Luca Fiori. A happy crew is a fast and safe crew and smart provisioning is a key to keeping the crew happy.

Steve Musicant replied to Dan Cooney's discussion 'Provisioning in Bermuda??'June 19

Miles is a short walk from the Yacht Club, or a short cab ride from the Dinghy Club (walkable if you have the time). It's in Hamilton. HOWEVER, it's very expensive, even for Bermuda. Just at the other end of Front Street from the Yacht Club and Mi...

Eric T. Wiberg replied to jim feeney's discussion 'man overboard'June 10

PS in the post-mortem, I should not have been in my boxer shorts on deck, I should have clipped in before grappling the broken boom (the sheet had parted in 30+ knots), and clearly I am largely to blame for my falling overboard in the first place....
