While in the lagoon (Simpson Bay, Sint Maarten) I recreated our log in excel to run some stats. Up until Easter Perigee had traveled 7, 592 since we bought her. As I was not on the first trip from Newport to Martinique, I had traveled 5, 298. That's a lot of miles in 412 days. She had stopped 72 times in 59 different destinations. 4 times to Newport, RI where we bought her, 3 times in English Harbour, Antigua, twice in Annapolis MD, Rockland ME, and Bermuda. The longest passage was from Norfolk VA to St Anne's, Martinique (1780 nm). The next longest was from Portsmouth, Dominica to Bermuda (1050 nm) followed by Bermuda to Antigua (925 nm).  Perigee spend 101 days in Le Marin while we packed up our lives in Switzerland and on joining her in February 2017 spent a number of weeks on boat maintenance. Since living on board and prior to arriving in Sint Maarten our longest stay had been 28 days in Falmouth Harbour, Antigua in November/December 2017. We spent 26 days in Bermuda
