160nm to go

Submitted by Geoff Alcorn on Sat, 04/07/2009 - 13:18.

Wind of Lorne II was "only" 160nm away from the finish last night. Not much
wind, but better forecast for today - he hopes to finish Sunday, but the
forecast shows dead calm Sunday afternoon!. Geoff sounds fine - if a little
fed up with lack of movement. He's fixed the self steering and can't wait to
get the parts for the engine, which await him at the Volvo dealer in
Portsmouth (RI).

Geoff,

Keep the updates coming and get to that line. Probably like yourself we are wondering each day if this will be the one! Can't wait to hear the stories.
May the winds be fair.

Hello Geoff,
As "the last man Standing" I look forward to your finish here in Newport off of Castle Hill. Trooper, Tigger and the Newport Harbormaster will be standing by on the line regardless of the hour. Enjoy your last few miles.
Best Regards,
