The scooters are turned in. The dinghy is stowed on the foredeck. We are fed and ready to go. The weather looks great. We'll be pulling up the anchor in just a few minutes. Horta, Faial, Azores is our next port. We anticipate about three weeks to get there if the wind and weather are in our favor.
I hope it's not too crowded out there. The ARC Europe racers all left today at noon (about 20 boats) so we will just be a few hours behind them. There are a couple of other boats that will be on the same route a couple of days behind us. It's good to know there are other boats close.
I'll try to post when I can via the ham radio (no pictures). Don't worry about us if you don't see a post for a few days, we'll be fine. I changed the "Where's Scott" page a little bit to try to show more than 7 days of SPOT locations. I'm not sure that I have solved it. I'll try to dribble a few SPOT locations every day along the way. Keep us in your thoughts and prayers. It's great to be back on the water again!
