THANK YOU Bermuda Container Line!
For the second time in our young campaign's history, BCL has shipped our boat across the Atlantic for free! We thank them for coming onboard so early in the campaign and for being so generous with their valuable, regular service to the US East Coast. We look forward to vindicating their good faith given to us. They are the first Bermudian company to stand behind us and we will never forget their assistance in our time of need (these early, unproven days are not easy!). We hope as we continue to improve on the international scene that more Bermudian companies will stand behind us. For now, all we can do is train away, be thankful for the loyal sponsors we have now and trust as this campaign becomes more visible that more companies will want to get behind us.
Plan Forward:
Our older boat (still thinking of a good name for her) is heading to the States for training in California and Florida in the Fall and coming Winter. We will drive her across in mid-September and then immerse ourselves in big wave and breeze practice in Santa Cruz, California. We will be sailing with the top Americans and a world class coach from Holland. We hope to leave off where we ended in Weymouth and continue our windy boat handling practice. After Santa Cruz, we head just north to the sailing mecca of San Francisco Bay for more big breeze practice for October. We will also be coaching Optimists, Lasers and high school sailing to help pay the bills. We will head south to Southern California for November for more training and coaching. Plenty of logistics to work on...
