I'm in Fort Lauderdale, aboard the Nordhavn 62 Autumn Wind, for the first leg to Bermuda. Weather permitting, we'll be departing Sunday at 1600 hours.

The first posts will be tests of my attempts to configure Radio, the software that runs this weblog, so that I can post by email from any one of the three boats I'll be aboard for the rally.

In the meantime, check out the links on the right, especially the first one which will enable you to keep track of our progress across the pond. The three boats I'll be on are Autumn Wind for Leg 1, Strickly for Fun for Leg 2, and Satchmo for Leg 3.
