Newport Bermuda Race 2008

Return Trip to Newport

Our faithful crewmember Michael O'Connor flew in on Wednesday, July 3 for the trip home.  When he arrived, we were anchored off the RBYC in the midst of replacing our Raymarie radome, which had arrived from Defender that morning.  The boat's cockpit was chock-full of boxes and tools, and the radar pole was lying across the cockpit in bits n' pieces.  Fortunately we were nearing the end of the project.  We flipped everything upright, plugged the remaining ends into place, and hit the switches.  Miraculously (thanks, Bruce), everything came on as it was supposed to, including Sirius weather and radar returns.  YES!

After a refreshing swim, we enjoyed a pleasant dinner at Fresco's that evening, then a good night's sleep before departure the next day.
