Flying Pig will depart St. Simons Island, GA Frederica Bridge area
approximately noon Sunday November 16 for Miami Yacht Club basin.

Course will be approximately 62 degrees to the Cape Canaveral area,
after which we will stick close to the coast to avoid the Gulf Stream.

Weather appears to be dead astern for the entire trip, as it will
clock from 320 to 340 during our rhumb line trip to Canaveral, and
then to 360 for the balance of the expected times offshore.

As always, we have ample charts for the areas covered and will have no
compunctions about coming in should circumstances indicate or
necessitate. However, our furthest point offshore won't be but about
19 miles, so we should be in VHF contact with shore for the entire
trip, and cell phone coverage for half or more, so any emergency would
readily be resolved.

We are leading a flotilla, presuming our bottom growth sloughs off
well with our ablative bottom paint; our dinghy had an impressive
forest attached, but no bottom paint, removed this afternoon -
otherwise, we may be in company, or trailing!

As always, we'll have SPOT coverage as well: http://tinyurl.com/FlyingPigSpotTracking,

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you
didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail
away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails.
