The weather forecast for the next several days is for continued South-Southeasterly winds at Force 3-5 making it a 300+ mile beat back to Bermuda on top of which without electronic navigation Bermuda is pretty small with surrounding reefs well out of sight of land making a DR landfall dangerous, thus you elect to continue on to Newport.

Background;

The idea for this question came from repairing a 70’ Swan that suffered a lightning strike.  All GPS units on board, even the crew’s personal handhelds run on batteries and not turned on at the moment of the strike had their software destroyed by an electro-magnetic wave the lighting strike generated.  The radios and antennas were fried.  Interesting though, the lighting did not destroy ships batteries, the engine starter or alternator.
