Ep 122 Why a Bluewater Boat? Big Weather St Thomas to Bermuda

Ep 51 Sailing Talisman from Ceuta, Spanish Morocco to Cartagena, Spain
We finally head east and north, across a long expanse of Mediterranean open water. It's a big passage, nothing like our short shakedown across the Strait of Gibraltar. We pass through weather fronts and sail during the night dodging shipping traffic.
