After 10 days in Bermuda, on our way north.
At the end of April, three new young people join the Mauritius as part of the “Jeunes en mer” socio-educational program. It’s a rough crossing between the Bahamas and Bermuda. In the wheelhouse, the watch teams work on their balance. Wedging the pots and pans is a real headache. Mooring is done in difficult conditions, but despite everything, the general atmosphere is very good.
After some seven days’ sailing, the coast of the British archipelago appears on the horizon. The team continued to the north of the island, sheltering in St. George’s Harbour, a bay opposite the town of the same name. At anchor, the usual maintenance work begins on deck: pitting rust, painting here and there, taking care of the boat… Artist Olivier Dumoulin completes the crew as part of the “Sillages” art publication.
The departure is felt. The next navigation is even more demanding: 750 nautical miles to reach Halifax in Canada. Numerous lows are delaying the start of the next leg, but over the next few days, a favorable weather window is opening up for us to set sail.
Happy crossing to the Momo crew!
