The Bounty has arrived in Bermuda, thanks to facebook I got lots of info and some pictures.
From Mitch:
Arrived in Bermuda on Bounty for an unscheduled stop to pick up a new bilge pump. So far in Seven days since leaving Maine, we've snapped the for t-gallant mast in half, shredded our double reefed main topsail, split a seem on the forsail, the wind blew the main royal out of its gaskets and split it, split in the spanker... fire on the stbd main engine hydrolic fluid line (discharged an entire extinguisher and some to put it out at midnight in my underwear), 15 -25 ft seas for 3 days (enough to make our new cook seemingly go mad), one working bilge pump, 5 gallon bucket of white primer spilt in bosuns, no braces for the main tgallant and main royal, and were supposed to have our crowjack, mizzen topsail yard, mizz. tgallant yard, mizz. royal not to mention the mizz. tgallant mast rigged before we arrive in Puerto Rico. Gotta love it.

Oh my god, what horrible luck! Now that's a lot of work to be done.
ReplyDeleteThat picture of the heel is amazing! I think if Californian ever heeled that much, her rail would be underwater!
Wow, are you glad you missed that?
ReplyDeleteor sorry you missed all that.
