The Bourne's are coming, the Bourne's are coming! Rick and Lennie joined Jenee and I in Bermuda for the 1800 mile passage to the Azores. Rick told Lennie he was bringing her to Bermuda for a little R&R then said "Hey look, there's Jim and Jenee on Jungle, let's go for a ride!"Hey look there's an exposed power cord, I'll go lick it and see if it's hot!
We leave Bermuda in a couple of hours and if you'd like to follow along you can link to the following: (it's a tad anal)

On the right side of the screen, select ARC Europe.
Once in, on the right side, select "Fleet Viewer Click Here"
Once in the Fleet Viewer, select, **Click here to go to the fleet viewer for ARC Europe 2011** It will show our course and where Jungle is located.
We'll provide other updates as well. Talk to you next from the Azores! Ciao.
Jenee is giddy with excitement as we are in the supermarket to provision - she digs food.
We even had time for a rescue mission. Sanders and Lisa, sailing on S/V Lady Lisa had their dinghy engine fail. They're a lovely Swiss couple and we were happy to help as that is what cruisers do - help each other. We towed them to and from the ARC Rally office. Jungle to the rescue!
Linda's gone and it's time to get to work and back up the mast. So, what do we do? We send up Jenee, what you think I'm going up? It's scary up there. Did I mention I scored more than 1,000,000 on Spasmo Invaders Video game? You don't see that kind of talent every day. But again, I digress.
The Captain and Admiral are strolling along Front Street in Hamilton as it's time to think about provisioning for a 14 day sail to the Azores. Or maybe it's time to just canoodle walking hand in hand. Gosh I love me, and my darling!
A final toast to the able crew of Jungle for the Bermuda passage. Ron has tons of sailing and "how to" knowledge and taught me a few things. (like bread plate on the left) This was Linda's fist passage and what a champ! She handled it with style, grace, and a few cocktails. Great job from both.
We had time to visit Crystal caves. 100 feet down with 30-60 foot salt water pool and stalagmites and stalactites. (one goes up the other goes down). I still don't know if the bread plate goes on the right or left, so don't ask me.
Believe it or not, this is a replica of Deliverance, or the Bounty as in "Mutiny on the Bounty". This ship is smaller than Jungle and a wacky design. No wonder the crew mutinied! This ship is butt ugly. "Damn your hide, Captain Bligh!" I'm reading William Bligh's account of the mutiny. I wonder if it will differ from the movie?
Yes Mom - we went to church. Kinda.
Ron bought himself a cool hat, so he's trying to help me get a cool at of my own - what a pal!
Happy to be on land after a successful voyage.
Enough sightseeing - let's eat! Here's part of the Happy crew after 6 days at sea. Ahhh, seats that don't move - nice.
We begin our walking tour of St. George's and Bermuda. Here is a view overlooking the customs dock where we checked in in the AM.
Jungle is comfortably anchored in St. George's Harbour. We are just off the dock of the ARC Rally base. We tend to like anchoring whenever possible vs. staying on a dock - much nicer.
