Vasco,
Listen to regie and stop talking like you have a clue what you're on about. Or are you a bluntie in disguise?!?
Regie listed correctly: 3 brackets on leg to lajes on the two and single hose plan, 6 to Bermuda (well 5 plus a 6A) then 2 on each of the other 2 legs.
6 brackets due to the roundabout route to remain within range of Newfoundland divs. And if you've been keeping track of current events, the 300 kt ground speed into 130 kt headwinds (outside the 85% stat met) was not fun.

The travelling press were correct though the articles do leave you wondering where they went to editing school. They had full access throughout the trail and were in both tankers.
The southerly route is due to it being WINTER...have you tried getting receivers airborne in snow and -20 degree temps in Newfie this time of year??
But Vegas was fun, thanks for asking
