There may a shower or two along the route but we are ready to roll. Winds appear they will be up to 10 MPH NNW. Here is the link.

See you there.
The heavy wind they are talking about will hit after 6 tonight.

Couple of pics of Marco waters taken a few minutes ago. Overcast as expected. Gulf is calm.

Hey Bob. Don't know if you are in contact with anybody in the Cape, but it's thundering, very dark and the skys maybe gonna open up. A few boats around here are gonna pass on today. I'm very disappointed. 1465 miles is a long way to travel and have an event wash out. Reminds me of boat race days. I'm gonna see if I can get some people together for the lunch stop. I'll look back here to see if there is an address for the lunch stop. If not, can someone post it? I know what it's like to plan a boating event and have the weather damper it. If I don't talk to you, thanks for organizing it. You can call me @ 315-374-8297 if you need to.

We're sitting here in the cape as well watching this thing roll in. I can't see anyway we could get out of here on time but who knows. I didn't come 1100 miles to sit on land so when this thing passes we will be ready for whatever.
