Where does the day go?

So this is blogging with the camera.

Here are a few snippets of our days watching the AC on La Mischief.

We checked out the America’s Cup Village, there was plenty of space to chill and watch the action on the big screens. We had a good view of the NZ and Artemis teams. In between races Team NZ changed their wing and later that day broke it…..(pitch pole).

To coincide with the celebrations a large fleet of tall ships is visiting Bermuda. There was marching and a military band for the Queen’s Birthday. Plus a BBQ and Bonfire event on the water front.

We spent a little more time anchored across from the RBYC and then moved back to the “AC designated anchoring area”. We still had the bay in between the island to ourselves. One morning we could hear a banging noise on our hull, it was a school of fish herding smaller fish. The water was boiling! A few days earlier I had seen a similar event take place the yacht club and I watch one of the staff do a little fishing.

While at this anchorage we had time for Mexican Train and to enjoy a few “Dark & Stormy’s” the national drink of Bermuda.

In addition to the beautiful Bermudan beaches we also enjoyed an outing to see the Crystal and Fantasy caves.

Before Eric and Annie (El Gato) flew home, we had a farewell dinner and Eric showed me a few rigging tips with our spinnaker halyard.

We’re looking forward to the showdown, Oracle Team USA v Emirates Team NZ. Who will go home with the cup? We understand that if NZ wins the next event will be 4 years away in Auckland and if USA wins they bring the event back to Bermuda in 2 years.

More to come……
