THEY'RE OFF!

They're off! At 8:55 AM this morning Comocean left the dock in Osterville for the first leg of their journey down to the caribbean! Toby, with first mate Norm Weill, and Jim Reynolds and Mark Peters all had smiles on their faces as they glided through the bridge and headed out to sea.
They will sail for about 3 1/2 to 4 days to get to Hampton, Virginia. Then on November 4th, weather permitting, Toby and Norm and two other crew will leave for Tortola. It's amazing how much they have learned in the past year. The fact that they have done this once before makes this sail so much easier!
Comocean never looked so good. With a brand new one day old bimini and dodger, new table (at last) and more electronics, I think and hope we're finally through BUYING more stuff for the boat! (I know. I'll eat those words.....)
I'm sorry there is no picture to supply with this blog. I still have to learn how to do that. But SPOT is on and working, so if you like, watch their progress as they head south. More later, as I hear from the guys on our sat phone.
Bon Voyage!
