Can you believe it? Not ENOUGH wind? November in the North Atlantic? Crazy stuff. And Commanders doesn't expect much wind at all for the passage down to Antigua. No wind means lots of motoring. Which means lots of fuel. (would need about 200 gallons to do the 1000 mile leg to Antigua, and like most boats our size, the max we're carrying, with jerry jugs too, is about 100 gallons)
So, they're waiting for the wind. Hanging out and going a little batty, chomping on the bit to get moving. Last I heard, I think they'll reprovision tomorrow (Monday) and take off at first light on Tuesday 11/17. Factoring in 6-7 days, should make landfall in Antigua by Tuesday, 11/24, just in time to get some of the crew members home in time for Thanksgiving! (but doesn't leave any time for them to play in Antigua)
Stay tuned!
