Fleet tracker

We all leave early tomorrow morning. This website
http://www.hawketracking.org/saltydawg/files/trackinglarge.htm
is the tracker website for the fleet.
Some of the fleet left last Saturday in advance of the storm that went through the middle of this week.
The seas in the gulf stream are 16 feet and steep right now but by the time we get there in one day they will be more moderate.
The important thing to remember is this is NOT a race :-)
We will of course be monitoring the positions of the other boats and carefully trimming our sails for optimum speed. We will win, i mean get there first.
Actually, since we have one of the smallest boats in the fleet we will likely be behind most boats.
