The Journey Begins

It's T-1 as we begin our Atlantic crossing tomorrow at 12:30pm! The fantastic crew of POV 2 pictured here (Mark, Cy, Chris and David) has been super busy all week with final preparations. Cy with the help of David has been in charge of food provisioning. We are well stocked and looking forward to some great meals. Chris, our technical guru, has been a genius as he has solved a number of last minute challenges including a dead generator battery, communication snafus and a twisted Code Zero halyard. David, a sailing racer, has begun to fine tune our rigging and has made sure we have all necessary spare shackles, blocks and hardware. I've been in charge of the logistics and making sure we passed the official safety inspection (we did).
I am blessed with an amazing crew. We are ready!
PS: All of us plan to make blog postings as we cross the ocean and each blog post should identify the author. Please do post comments but we will not be able to view them until our arrival in the Caribbean as we do not have web browsing capability.
