THURSDAY JUNE 17 1000

There is a briefing for skippers and crews in an hour, and then five of the larger boats will be off, on a 150-nautical-mile leg to Sao Miguel, the largest of the Azores islands. The rest will depart Saturday as per the original schedule, and we will meet up somewhere along the rhumb line to Gibraltar.

From this point onward, follow our adventures at http://abaco.pwr.com/NAR2004/transat/ as well as at http://www.nordhavn.com/rally/voyage/welcome.htm

I will resume posting at http://radio.weblogs.com/0137829/ upon our arrival in Gribraltar on or about June 26.
