4 June Check in

Not quite as far west as I calculated...progress has been (once again) slow! Winds have been a light 5-10 knots and variable, and will continue that way through Tuesday.  Bascially kind of crappy light wind.  Then a small but strong (50 knot winds at the center, but fortnunately that is a couple of hundred miles off) system will blow past on Friday.  They are hoping to catch some of the front winds of that system and get to the Azores by Friday. 

They are 700 miles from the Azores (position:  39.14N, 46.42 W), which should get them there about Friday night or Saturday morning.  Every time I think about how long this is...to be on a boat for 35 days with the same four guys... just to get to the Azores and have another 6 day sail to go...sweet mother of Mergatroid!.  That's a badge of honor that I will pass up, thank you.

Next check in will be at 4 pm EST on Monday.  BTW, my intuition was right, Code was trying and trying to get through yesterday, but could not get a line.
