Elmarleen is in Bermuda.
We arrived here on Friday afternoon after a very slow and long slog to get here. It
blew a SW for the majority of the trip and we sailed in excess of 800 miles in order
to get here. Wow, but hasnt it been worth it. It didnt take more than about 15
minutes for Matt and I to realize how special a place we had arrived at. A little
island in the middle of the Atlantic that really is paradise. I would recommend to
anyone who does the OSTAR to pop in here on the way home. It really is an
opportunity to get away and have a holiday.
I have been very lucky and I am moored in St Georges alongside the wharf for free.
Due to the time of year any of the boat have already moved on. Its still very hot
but I think I am getting used to it.
Matt flew out this evening, but not after we hired a couple of scooters and blasted
around the island trying to swim on as many beaches as we could. This place really
is beautiful and It does not compare with anywhere I have ever been before. The
water everywhere is just amazing and there isnt any where I have seen that I would
have thought twice about just whipping my T shirt of and just jumping in the sea.
The beaches are a lovely sand and the water colours are just mind blowing.
I will try and put some photos on the blog next time I am online.

P.S I will soon stop blogging on BLOGSTAR and start blogging on my own website
