Just got the call from Mom. They sound like they’re having a blast! They’ve gone 173 miles in the last 24 hours. They’ve got the whomper, staysail and main out (usually the whomper goes to bed at night unless it’s perfect sailing).  They’ve got starry skies and wonderful temps.  They’ve, and I quote, “never had such wonderful weather”!  They’ve had 10~18kts of wind the entire trip.  They’ve still aimed at Bermuda until they know otherwise.  It sounded like they might be planning on going to Bermuda because Mom commented on how she’ll make a post via WiFi when there.  That and they also were seeing more power getting to the handset, so they might try email posting tomorrow.  So you might not be stuck with me for much longer!

Their current position is 30.30N 65.13W.
