We were hired to bring this Grand Banks 46 back from her vacation home in the Abacos. It was a fabulous trip, on a fabulous boat without a hitch…Oh, but did we say we were keeping a sharp eye out on Hurricane Bertha? At flight time she was 700 miles south east of the Bahamas and her projected path was to veer north toward Bermuda.
Our hope was that this storm would turn north quickly and miss land altogether. Our luck held and we enjoyed terrific weather with nice calm seas for crossing the Gulf Stream. Click on these photos below for our journey…..
