We left St. Augustine on May 10, at high noon! The Atlantic Rally for Cruisers were sent off by the mayor of St. Augustine as well as other very official rally types.  It was a very nice send-off.
  Currently we are about 200 miles east of Florida.  The weather has been warm and there has been very little wind so far.  We are making about 4.5 knots toward Bermuda.  This is certainly not going to be a fast passage.   We are hoping the wind picks up just a bit. 
  Onboard, with us are Barb Root and Kim Thomas.  Barb is an old friend from Crescent Sail Y.C. and Kim is a sailing/ski buddy of Crissie's. Barb currently lives near Colorado Springs and Kim lives in Grosse Pointe.  Kim has an Ericson 30 that she keeps at Northstar Sail Club on the Clinton River. 
  So far things are going well.  We have had dolphins cavorting around the boat and lots of phosphorescence in our wake.  Right now Bermuda seems a very long way off. 
More later.
