R2R 17.1 High Seas!
Submitted by Miss Tippy on 2010/03/21 – 18:155 Comments
We had a wild trip for 1,000 miles from Ponce in Puerto Rico to Porvenir in San Blas. We caught up with the main rally fleet despite our diversion into Puerto Rico for emergency hospital treatment. However, as we met with the fleet we were faced with huge winds (reported at 40 to 65 knots) and massive seas. Miss Tippy coped well although many on the fleet suffered knock-downs. Luckily no injuries although a lot of breakages occurred and many limped into Porvenir for their first taste of cruising off the beaten track. This film describes our experience of the trip and shows some of the weather we faced.

Wicked sailing – really enjoyed voyage – great shots – but scary as well!
You deserve that rum punch Brian for having stitches out, Sheila one for taking them out in cockpit surgery procedure.
Looks like you can all chill for a while – fantastic to see you all safe and sound.
Happy sailing!!
