Landfall in Bermuda: June 17, 2024—Areté arrived in Bermuda, where The Admiral joined us for the next leg of the voyage. After an excellent docking (I’ll take 10% of the credit), we spent time exploring the island (yes, it really is that beautiful...) before continuing south. 🇧🇲⚓🏖️

Mysterious Submarine Encounter: Unidentified Submarine, Unidentified Submarine, Unidentified Submarine... This is US Navy Warship # # # #.... Please respond. That's what we heard on our radio about 100 miles off Norfolk on June 14. Then we spotted several U.S. Navy warships crisscrossing around us. One of them was a mere 2,000 miles from us. We never made contact, but it made for plenty of conversation aboard. Especially considering the recent news about a Russian submarine heading towards Cuba. 🚢📻🤔
