Midwatch 12-3-13 One Year Anniversary

All is well enough.

We had a rough past 24 hrs.  Stored the computer and gps in the oven to protect
from lightning and decided we didn't want to risk any communications.

Kind of like sailing in a pinball machine.

This morning we broke through the heavy weather and were greeted by the outline
of Lanzarote "Land Ho!"

Mom and Dad are weak and shaky but the kids are up in the cockpit enjoying the
warmth and blue water and views.  Currently passing lots of ships and Finn is in
to it.  Bob Dylan on the stereo and things are looking up.

365 days ago today we left Morehead City, North Carolina to begin this journey. 
Not one step has been easy but no one can say we haven't come far.

Headed for Gran Canaria and should be there roughly 24 hours from now.

Time:  11:00 AM UTC
29 Degrees 32.770 N
13 Degrees 46.366 W

Course 223 Degrees True
Speed 5 kts
Full main and storm jib


Bob, Kim, Anna and Finn
