[Status] Happy Lunar New Year (year of the pig!). We are planning to check
out of Thailand on Friday and depart on Saturday (Friday is considered
unlucky for a nautical departure although we have done that many times). We
will probably have no wind for the first 12-24 hours which will give us a
chance to run the engine, charge the batteries, and top off our water tanks
with the water maker. After that we should be able to sail. It seems like
FOREVER since we've been offshore so I am hoping for a gentle re-entry! We
plan to post daily while offshore and hope to make landfall in the Maldives
February 19 (full moon!). If you need to contact us while we are offshore,
you can email us at neptuneshighway@myiridium.net.
