Default Flying Pig Float Plan

Flying Pig will be taking advantage of an unusually good window to
make our passage to Ft. Pierce, where we'll be on the hard for several
months during family business. You can follow our progress by
clicking tinyurl.com/flyingpigspot, which holds a week's worth of
locations at 10-minute intervals.

We'll initially be going NW from Raccoon Cay to avoid the Cochinas
Banks but staying south enough to avoid the Middle Ground shoals.

From there we'll go directly west over the Great Bahama Bank and pick
up the favorable current in the Hurricane Flats where we'll turn NW
again, riding it until the area near Orange Cay.

From there we'll choose the most favorable wind direction to pick up
the Gulf Stream. Current weather information suggests that it should
be both favorable winds and seas for our travels taking advantage of
the 3-knot-plus lift it can provide.

We'll turn out at Ft. Pierce, or Lake Worth if it's apparent we won't
get to FTP comfortably before dark, anticipated to be on Sunday
afternoon.

Those interested may also catch us before and after we speak with
Chris on 4045.0 SSB, USB at 6:30-7:30AM, other than Sunday, when he's
off.

Fair Winds to all our friends afloat; we'll see the shoreside folks
soon!

The Society for the Preservation of Tithesis commends your ebriated
and scrutible use of delible and defatigable, which are gainly, sipid
and couth. We are gruntled and consolate that you have the ertia and
eptitude to choose such putably pensible tithesis, which we parage.
