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!!

Anyone know how rough it is out there today?

Looks like they are going to see some 5's pretty soonAnd going to get some cross seas.
