Getting ready to head south

It's that time again and Tracy and I are heading out to Hampton, Va to sail the boat south for the winter. We have two friends to help out, Tim Klug and Mark Tope. It should be a great trip.
I've been watching the weather and our small window of opportunity is closing. We hoped to leave on Monday the 4th but if we can sneak out on the third we might give it a try. I think the weather will be a little unsettled after that so we may have to wait it out in cooold Hampton until the 6th or 7th.
I'll try to keep updating as we get closer to departure. I thought I would have some email capabilities thru my sat phone but after way to many wasted hours it was not meant to be. I'll take it with me and hopefully some guru there can figure it out.
