Off for the Azores

Code, Ted, Steve, and Bill left for the Azores today.  It is the longest leg and should take at least 16 days (if the wind is perfect) but up to 20.  Given the fact that winds are blowing FROM Europe, I figure it may be more like 22 days.  They will spend less time in the Azores than planned so that they can get to the mainland as close to their estimated arrival time as possible.  If the kids and I get to Portugal before Code, then we will rent a studio apartment for a few days and just hang out.

Code will call me in the evenings to check in for weather and position updates--so just a 1-2 minute call is all.  We're getting used to his absence, but the kids and I miss him like crazy!

So why the delay until Wednesday? Did the parts not get in on time? Also, Code needs to tell us what he did all this time!
