Berrimilla departs DH - from Dave Boisseau

McQ - Alex - Kimbra
The Berrimilla departed Dutch this morning approx. 8:00 am. Course 340 deg, 6.6 knots, headed for the western tip of Nunivak Is., approx. 390 miles, then on to Nome. Weather this week looks good for sailing, W and SW 15's. Attached is a photo of Alex and crew, with Berri in the background, taken night before departure. Very fine and enjoyable folks. Kiwi boat the "Berserker" (much larger) also headed to Nome, so the Berri may have some company along the way.
