Looks a bit rolly out there, but not too bad. Wave height on this chart is in meters. Maybe about 9-12 foot seas, 15 knot winds. Ted apparently 'fed the fish' yesterday afternoon. Hope he's feeling better.

Thursday, May 12, 2011 at 01:47PM Get in your last calls now to Code and crew by 4 pm...then it is sat phone only (which means texting as voice is very expensive).
Yipee!!!
Now the weather seems to have reversed and it will be very calm seas and light winds. Good thing they have lots of fuel in case they have to motor.
Once in Bermuda, they will spend about 2 days touring the island, re-provisioning, and resting, then leave for the Azores. Rob will catch a plane home from Bermuda back to Maryland.
I will update the location on the maps when I hear from Code on the satellite phone.
Tuesday, May 10, 2011 at 10:44PM Rented a car and spent the day touring Williamsburg, Jamestown and Yorktown. Interesting stuff!
Learned a lot about American history today. Had some fun too. Below is Ted and Steve doing 'time' in the stockade. If you don't set an example once in awhile the crew will just get out of hand!
Monday, May 9, 2011 at 12:55PM Now the weatherman is telling us Thursday am departure. The picture below shows the story pretty well. The Yellow area is 15 to 20 foot seas - and makes for a pretty exciting ride. We're waiting for something a little less extreme...
