Leaving Newport
It's 0800h on 21 May and we are about to leave the dock.
The weather has finally given us a four to five day window to get offshore and clear the Gulf Stream.
There are 2100 miles between us and the Azores, we are counting on covering 100 miles a day but hope to do more so should arrive somewhere around 10 June.
Wednesday is traditionally an auspicious day to set off on a sea voyage and will apparently ensure us the favour of the Norse God Wodin!
The sun has also come out after a day of rain yesterday so we are setting off in good spirits.
David's tried executions by hull cleaning induced hypothermia and electrocution by welding. I'd say I've got a better chance of survival in the middle of the Atlantic than at a Newport marina. - Jay
Almost ready to go and really looking forward to it. Just about to cast off our lines. See you in the Azores! Love Jac xx

I've been so interested in your journey. Its been amazing. You brave and lucky souls! If you ever have a get together where you talk about your trip and have a slide or video show then I would love to attend. we worked together in Bartholomew street a few years ago when you worked for Ivor. My name is Jon Gould.
Hi,
I am a reporter for the Exmouth Journal covering Topsham and have been reading your travel tales for months now.
It sounds like quite a journey and I would love if we could get together when you arrive to have a chat and maybe do an interview.
Could you please email me what dates you may be coming home, i know how uncertain predicting arrival times can be.
Good lcuk with the last leg of your journey.
