An interesting read thus far. As a SEA, and RV Westward, "W90" alum, who also sailed from Woods Hole to Bermuda, in October, I had a similar experience to the author's. In fact, we rounded Bermuda but didn't make a port call, the captain decided not to, later saying he was afraid if he did half the students would disembark, and would never be seen again. Lots of green water on the deck and cold salt water showers, it was trial by fire. I last saw Westward in Portland ME a few years ago, looking a bit forlorn I'm afraid, lotta nms under her keel.
