I am back from making the final preparations on GANNET, The electric outboard is mounted and it started. The water containers are filled, though not to the top. Probably about 4 gallons in each for a total of 24 gallons. Far more than I expect I will need. Everything is stowed and the bags along the sides of the v-berth tied in place. We should leave the slip tomorrow morning. I will activate the Yellowbrick which I have set to transmit our position automatically every six hours. The tracking page is:
Do not be alarmed if some days you see us making slow or no progress or even going backwards. Headwinds are due Thursday or Friday and depending on their strength and the sea state I will reduce sail significantly and possibly heave to.
Wishing you well from the unfrozen marsh.
