1,500 Miles of Blue
Delivery of Sea Pearl ~1500nm from Tortola, BVI to the New York Yacht Club in Newport, RI, May 2022
Saturday, May 21st 2022 we flew down to USVI and caught the ferry over to Tortola, BVI.
We met “Sea Pearl”, a 54’ Hylas owned by Jeff Gronning (MMSI 338215118).
Tony and Marcus enjoying an afternoon off shift, fishing pole out! They totally planned their outfits.
The sunsets were amazing!
Getting into the rhythm
Marcus on standby and Tom driving - another rough day.

Full crew together mid-ocean for a sunset and dinner together.
We arrived at the entrance to Newport Harbor on May 31st at about 4 am. The tall masts of Newport Shipyard guided us towards the New York Yacht Club, where we initally pulled up alongside and opened a beer as we waited to be cleared for customs. We then put the boat on a mooring and headed up to a civilized afternoon sitting “on top of the grass hill”. We did a bit of shopping in Newport, had a great 24 hours and then headed back to NYC.
