We will leave soon on a 10 t0 12 day passage in the Atlantic. We have joined the Caribbean 1500 Rally, a group of sixty boats sailing directly from Hampton, Virginia to Tortola, BVI. The planned departure date is Monday November 7th, weather permitting.
During the voyage Jade and the other boats will be tracked on the Caribbean 1500 website. http://www.worldcruising.com/carib1500/ The progress of each boat will show up on a map along with daily logs. Please follow along and keep us in your thoughts as we take this challenging and exciting trip.
Two experienced sailors will be traveling with us, Bob Caffee and Julio Menendez. With these two guys along the trip should be a lot of fun and easier than with just the two of us.
The next blog post here will be soon after we reach the islands!
Fair winds and a helthy passage,
