Well had a good day considering Old School had me out passed my bed time in Annapolis last night.

Left Northern Chesapeak Bay for Key West and the races yesterday with the Azimut.

How much in metric ? :D ...take care old man , and keep the picture and story coming ....

we have received our first snow here up north ......

Magic Medicine 11-01-2008 12:52 PM

Have fun and be safe, its neat to follow your adventure.

GLH 11-01-2008 01:33 PM

Wife sais the spot thing stopped working for a while.

Let me know if it's back up.

Offshore of Brunswick GA now, will come in at Fernandina beach at 3:51pm according to the GPS.

Will do a bit on the inside I am getting tired of getting tossed around. At least it is following seas. Earlier was about 4-6 now for the last half hour it is down to 2-4's.

Ran with about an 80 footer most of the ride today. We were the only ones out there.

My guess is Lauderdale tomorrow late if aal goes well.

BTW if anyone wondered I am posting this from my Blackberry

Bobthebuilder 11-01-2008 02:24 PM

Hey, GL have a great trip. Which marina will you be in at Key West? I will be in the Galleon. I will look you up.
Enjoy following you on "SPOT". I haven't used mine since Cancun. Hmmm might be time for another "trip". LOL
Be safe and enjoy :)
Bob

NJgr8ful 11-01-2008 03:56 PM

terryandalexa 11-02-2008 01:06 AM

Awesome way to get to Key West. I'd do it in a heart beat given the chance.

My goal for 2020 is Austrailia to the Tahitian Islands and spend a year island hopping...... updating OSO from a smart phone !

Have a safe journey :drink:

offshoredrillin 11-02-2008 06:27 AM

Will you be keeping the boat in FL for the winter or coming straight home?

Jesse James 11-02-2008 06:26 PM
