Bermuda!

We arrived safe and sound yesterday about noon after 8 days at sea. No storms or major issues. We sighted land at 5am after 6 days with nothing but water all around us. It is gorgeous here and we are enjoying getting cleaned up and r&r. Internet cafes are nonexistent and the whole island is on a national holiday through tomorrow so connectivity has been frustratingly lacking. I will fly home in the next day or two. More to come with pics when I return.

Castoff

About ready to cast off for the dock. Should be about 5-7 days till Bermuda. No wind yet but should pickup offshore.

Baby birds! v2.0

The nest has progressed well and we had our first chicks hatch two weeks from the day the first egg was laid. Two chicks were out by 10AM and the parents were pretty excited. The following day the third chick was born. We have kept waiting for the 4th egg to hatch but it looks like it was a dud. The three chicks have grown rapidly and both parents have been very busy feeding them. They are super cute and want to be fed constantly. I managed to get some decent pictures of the feeding, so without further ado here are the pics. Note the ridiculous development between day 17 and day 19:

More pictures are here. I'll keep taking pics as long as they stay in the nest (should be 2 weeks from hatching).
