Hello!
I just wanted to post a quick update on the TSSG voyage. The Spirit of Massachusetts left Great Inagua in the Bahamas on Sunday afternoon (4/19). This is the longest passage the girls will make -- 800 nautical miles in a straight line -- but depending on the direction of the wind they may have to travel many more miles than that!
The weather/wind websites say that today and for the past day or two, the winds in the area are from the east at 15-20 knots, which is favorable for this passage. If they are ahead of schedule, there is the possiblity that they will stop on Bimini (Bahamas) and visit the Shark Resarch Station there, or visit Cumberland Island in Georgia.
I will keep you posted on any news from them!

wow, I was curious where those locations were at. Looked it up on google maps. It looks like a long north/western voyage back to the Florida area. I've learned about the geographical area of the Bahama's and surrounding Islands myself following the progress!!
