Today's the day

It looks like we have a perfect weather window to start our trek south.  We were able to "borrow" an internet connection this morning (thus this update) and check the weather forecasts from Montauk to the enterance to the Deleware Bay....simply, all looks great.  So, we are about to haul anchor and get underway.

The offshore portion of this trip should take between 36 and 48 hours depending on winds.  So we will be unable to be in contact, as we have no internet or cell phone service while offshore.  We are "limited" to ham and long distance marine radio (also known as single side band).  We will TRY to update our position tonite by ham radio.  You can  visit http://www.shiptrak.org/ and type in my call letters: N1ELQ.

Wish us luck getting otta here today.....Talk to you all from Cape May
