Our two crewmembers are arriving this afternoon and Ed and I are just doing last minute things. I'm making a spinach lasagna so it's ready for our first night at sea (Sunday night).
Ed is gathering all the weather information today from Commanders Weather, and so far he believes that we're going to be having 20+ winds from a northeastly direction, which means pretty much on the nose, so we're going to have to make as much easting as possible to have as comfortable a sail as possible.
Tomorrow morning Ed will head over to Customs to check all of us out, we'll get rid of garbage, take a last long, hot shower over at the marina, and then slip the lines mid-morning.
Adrenalin is running - excitement but nervousness. Ed as Captain is always worried about safety of crew, weather, mechanics.
Well, we are signing off now until we reach Bermuda (late Sunday, May 9th, anticipated). If you'd like to know our progress while we're underway, please click on "Where's Gypsea Now" (top right corner of blog) - our location will be updated daily.
Your thoughts and prayers for a safe and uneventul passage will be appreciated.
Cheers for now,
Liz and Ed and Chipper - the cat
