I could not determine from the video what went wrong that the skipper required
rescue--I could see exhaust from Jenny on the video and the sails looked
fine--although the spreaders may have been damaged while she was tied up to the
BIG ship.
Anyone know the "...rest of the story..."?

div.yiv1220623177WordSection1 {}#yiv1220623177 Wow, I was just out there 3 days
after that. I did the return leg of the Bermuda 1-2. Flex in on 6/14 from
Boston. It was a process getting the Travel Authorization. Submitting you’re
your online application with evidence of a vacine card and PCR test two days
before I left and then another before you are allowed to leave the airport.
Then quarantine in your room until they email you. (I must be honest me and
another friend that was returning on another boat had a nice rental apartment
and we had another Skipper drop-off beer and steaks, thanks to Tom Kent on Kent
Racing a Class 40). They had just opened up inside dining the week before we
got there and the whole island is still very much where we were back a few
months ago. But still my favorite place and my 5th 1-2. Hoping to go on my boat
someday but she will need some big upgrades! I was on a very nicely equipped
Tartan 35 but one thing it did not have was a second autopilot and yup the
inevitable happened and we steered close to 700 miles by hand! 8 days later and
finally feel normal again. From: Randal Stafford via CnC-List

Subject: Stus-List Re: Rescue at sea. So I assume S/V Jenny is adrift
somewhere in the North Atlantic? It was tough to see her hull and spreaders
banging into that tanker. I wonder what will become of the boat - how long it
can stay afloat, where it will end up. I guess eventually the guy would have
run out of water and provisions. Cheers,Randy

they are Covid-paranoid, as almost every case they have seen has been from a
foreign traveler.I know another sailor who was permitted entry to make repairs
on his way to Puerto Rico this winter. Wonder what the rest of the story is.

I’m posting this thread because there may those amongst the list that will find
this interesting. This post is somewhat C&C related because the subject of the
video upgraded his boat near mine. He just did his upgrades with much more
alacrity. Kim is an acquaintance of mine, lives in the same town and has
attended more than one of our annual Sock Burning Parties. I’ve assisted him
with some of his projects. Prior to his setting sail for Bermuda, I worked
along with another very experience offshore sailor (in the yard repainting his
Valiant 42 with triple spreader carbon rig) to get him prepped and sorted away.
The Valiant owner leant Kim his life raft. Having raced to Bermuda in the past
Kim was keen for any insights that I could impart. I told him to stay away from
the Swizzle Inn rum swizzles and take the round-abouts in a clock-wise
direction... I don’t have any insights or knowledge of events other than what
is portrayed in the video and I’m not going to speculate. This voyage was a
long-term dream of Kim’s. His boat is a mid-to-late 80’s Jeanneau, around 35
feet. Rescue at Sea Regards,Dave Godwin
