Spirit Of Bermuda Halfway To Turks & Caicos
The Spirit of Bermuda has reached the halfway point in their journey to the Turks & Caicos, with the students onboard receiving lessons from Bermudian historian Dr. Theodore Francis.
An update from the Captain said, “Spirit has reached the half-way point as of yesterday [July 7] morning. They are now picking up the Trade Winds [fresh easterly winds] and loving every second of it!
“The seas are relatively smooth, with a steady 15kts of wind lifting Spirit along nicely at 10kts. With our current speed and forecasted weather we expect a first light arrival Saturday morning where we will then clear customs and get the students ashore.”
He noted that the latest lesson and discussion with Dr. Francis focused on “Mary Prince’s escape from slavery and the commonality of escape from slavery and slave resistance in Bermuda.”
