YEE HAW WE ARRIVED!

At 07:28 EDT, 08:28 Local Time we crossed the line between Green 1SG and Red 2SG of the Town Cut of St George's Harbor. This was important to note because it was the line chosen for the various wagers amongst crew and management regarding time of arrival. Debbie and Craig were closest with guesses of the exact time. Debbie won all bets with her 03:05 Friday choice. Craig was a close second with his 12:00 Saturday choice. Debbie's choice was only 9 minutes better than Craig's!

Once into St George's Harbor we went to the Custom's dock. After clearing in we dropped the Quarantine flag and began flying the Bermuda flag. Formal arrival!

Now the boat is med moored at Bermuda Yacht Services and neatened up. All bodies are washed and dried.

The Champagne has been popped! One of Jim's lifelong dreams half done, all glasses were raised high, to him and wife Vanessa. Under Jim's Captainship and Vanessa's Admiralty, Wind Runner screamed from Block Island to Bermuda, averaging 6.7 knots over four days, making 160 nm per day. Even though we just got here, all are eager to begin reviewing weather patterns for our return to America.
