Sailing yacht delivery from Bermuda to Tortola
Yacht delivery of a 157' sailing yacht
December 2019
My first day of the trip started from New York, departing flight, saying my farewell to my parents and friends I came to see in NY. Upon arrival in Bermuda I was greeted by a great fellow at the airport, the ship's agent to take me to the yacht in Hamilton. We had such a nice conversation, while seeing the lovely country side of Bermuda, I had to make a stop to see the nice water side along the drive. I took a picture with my new friend, Ben.
The trip then was to the marina, come to find out it was at the world renowned sailing Yacht Club of Bermuda. I have heard of, but have never been to.

My first day at the beautiful marina, Hamilton. Aboard the beautiful sailing yacht.
Aboard the sailing yacht.
My first day, meeting the current crew on board, and the guests. The guests were avid sailing people, with being on board for the sailing experience, come from different parts of the nation, and from Canada, and Ireland. It was a surprise pleasure to see such avid sailors on board. Turns out they were members of the world renowned American Sailing association, in completing their 'hand selected' opportunity to be on board the yacht, as their special sailing experience with the itinerary.
The time to familiarize with the vessel, and itinerary was brief, in waiting for the vessel provisioning, and other crew to arrive, and the yacht owner and his lady to arrive, also from New York.
I had some things ahead of me in the planning for the voyage. I am glad I brought my laptop with my premium navigation system onboard. lt makes voyage planning easier with the right tools.

I spent two days at the bay at anchorage to follow up with getting vessel set as the new place of berth. It was a good trip with good crew. Smooth sailing.
