And one for the history books!

News from the boat...Legacy arrives at Omega and completes Atlantic crossing with a new elapsed time.
At this time our beloved yacht Legacy and its entire crew has arrived at waypoint Omega & EOP with the agreement of Harold La Borde. This marks the completion of our first mission objective in a time of 16 days 23 hours. In the name of every member of our team, past, present and future, we shall now keep watch over the honour of this elapsed time for an Atlantic crossing in a locally built sailing vessel manned by nationals from Trinidad and Tobago. We deeply acknowledge the achievement of Harold and Kwailan La Borde and Kelvin 'Buck' Wong Chong aboard Humming Bird I after their incredible first crossing in 1960, originating from Trinidad and Tobago. It has been an honour to sail in their wake. May God bless and watch over all those who have wished us well, or have prayed for our safe arrival and may God watch over all those who go down to the sea in ships.
A very special thank you to our family, friends and Caribbean Airlines for supporting us during the planning and execution of this mission. Legacy now continues northward under sail non-stop to the United Kingdom.  "It's a great day to be a sailor!"
