Savanmh Georgia where they stayed a few days Until then d been pushing snow all down the east and wonted to borne quick experience They found it in their first storm off the coast We were over confident says Bruce We didn check the weather wt just wanted to go The little ship battled one heck of storm as it headed south to Florida a four day sul They had to stay well out in the ocean because of an elaborate buoy system offshore The sister ship the R Heritage was fuelling with hit two buoys Bruce The wist bit blind and a lot the two and storm was crazy waters in were re iched The crew spent ton of weeks sailing around Florida the Keyes and the Everglades before taking off across the Gulf Stream for the Bahamas They kept waiting for the Gulf Stream to quieten down before attempting the crossing their first major sea crossing They heard horror stones of the treacheries of Gulf Stream waters and get going until they hid the company of eight other boats The whole fleet left for the Bahamas at a rather full of wine and only the Heritage travelled the whole distance Bruce and his m loved the Bahamas and were pleased after making the big one A Gulf Stream jump in a small boat With a footer I got to witch out for my environment Gathering confidence as they travelled the crew explored Haiti then spent two months on that island Jamaica We were lucky we were

loving you can got away with much more Bruce found his share of trouble on the trip however His mite ran of a mugger in Savannah la Mar Jamaica and the crew had difficulty with some of the revolutionary types However they found having a black in la Jamaican cult with them helped them become the natives The crew rented and toured Jamnlea really enjoying their stay until the coll of the sea look them off again to Cuba Cuba quiet he could have spent a lot of time on the western tip of Cuba it was so quiet and picturesque However they had to get back to the S coast before hurricane season and they lilt the open sea once more During the five days it look to reach the Stales the It Heritage weathered one of the worst storms Bruce says he hopes to be in We spent five days looking for the and waiting for the boat to break up It was like being in on eggshell hitting a brick wall every time hit one of those big waves We swished around the cockpit like a rag in a sink For five days the crew slept little ate fit fully Bruce said he even heard voices at one point But it must hive been his guardian angel Heritage It was the bit test of my life They lost their lifeboat quite a bit of gear washed overboard and some of the matting the bulkheads cracked But they survived and continued to putter around the Bahamas for a few more weeks before pulling the boot Florida marina The
