Bermuda settles down

The SW gale is over. The winds have shifted NW which makes for a calm St. George's Harbour again.

My last maintenance job, tightening the steering pulpit to the cockpit, is proving to be the toughest, with corroded bolts and tight spaces to contend with. With a bit of luck I'll have it sorted by the end of the day.

I have been contemplating a Saturday departure but am keeping an eye on developing weather patterns over the coming week. I'm tempted to wait a spell longer considering the strong WSW winds predicted will make a harder sail to avoid landing in Newfoundland or Greenland instead of my intended landfall at Cape Breton Island.

I will attempt to publish another post when I'm ready to push off.
