Our friend Tom Tursi, who owns The Maryland School of Sailing and Seamanship pulls up right behind us at the customs dock. It is Tom s company for whom we teach our sailing classes in the Virgins. The odds of running into him in such a way are incredible. He was on one of three other Island Packet sailboats conducting offshore training out of the Chesapeake. Our friends in Bermuda, Kevin and Kara Janzen, met us on the dock and took us home.
Home turns out to be an estate on the top of a hill overlooking a green rolling lawn to the ocean.
Imagine sailing through clouds of Dolphin. Huge jumps and complete flips were the norm. They seemed so happy you couldn t help but be in a good mood. Imagine a gaggle of pilot whales 100 or more strong swimming with the boat. Imagine flocks of giant Tuna keeping pace with the shadow of our cruising chute.
