Making some headway!

This is the closest buoy I know of. It is more south off of the penninsula. It looks like they are over half-way.
If you map it, it shows 3100+ driving miles, 52 1/2 hours. Good luck, Go Bob!!

Current reading from NOAA Bouy # 42056 (closest bouy that I can find) which is South of the western tip of Cuba and SE of Cozumel

I think it 12 miles and they will be 20 miles off shore. So LEGALY they will be ok but keep your fingers crossed.
Anyone know how rough it is out there today? http://www.oceanweather.com/data/Gul...ico/index.html |
