Hi All,
Ben just left Matinicus Island in ME this morning in the AM. He will be traveling past Cape Cod to Nan Tucket. He has SW winds 10 - 20 gusts to 30 (this will be bucking a head wind). The wind should start moving to W to NW 15 - 20 winds by thursday which will be good for traveling. there is a chance of scattered rain thursday afternoon. seas are estimated to be 2-4 foot. (Unless they go out further then the seas could get up to 8 feet. But I think he will stay closer to shore.? All looks good from NOAA. He is loving his new foul weather gear. I will update you when I hear from him again either thurs - saturday sometime. it is only 167 Nautical Miles. so with perfect winds 27 hours or 2 days if a head wind the whole way. Oh and our electrical is finally fixed! I'll let you know if it is "really" fixed.
thanks for all your prayers for safety and such!
blessings to you all.
oh ... P a m ...

Hi Pam: I finally stopped my life enough to seek out your blogs and your activities . . . and then I find Ben is at sea, braving the waves. I'm wondering if braving 7 to 10 foot waves is any worse than braving the hallways of Kennedy? Life has been too busy on this end, which is why I haven't been checking up on you two (or three: Ben, Pam, and Cricket...). I wonder what's transpired in the three weeks since your last blog entry.
