Leaving Port!

Yes, the day is finally here. It's 4:40 am and we are about to get a ride to the boat as we have ben staying in comfort at Dave Johnson's. It took a big final push to finish all of the taks involved in getting the boat ready, but we are confident that we have the equipment and systems necessary for the journey. Many thanks to Dave J. and Mike Alt from Corporate Electric for supplying us with a satellite phone. Thanks also to Bill, Richard, Monica, Steve and many others for all the help.
You can follow the weather we will be experiencing at www.passageweather.com
Pictures of the boat with it's new wind generator, single side band radio, vhf radio, new mainstay, custom covers and cushions, and spruced up interior and exterior will be posted once we get to Cuba.
