So the Great Journey begins.

Weather is fine, clear skies.
Seas are very low, less than 0.5m swell.
Wind is  SSW at 7kts.
First leg is going to be slow with no engine. Tacking into a low headwind to make a bearing of 59° using the headlands either side of the mouth of the Alligator as my first landmarks.

The Lady Raediel has performed wonderfully on the journey so far, exploring much of the Caribbean and up the coast to North Carolina. Hoping she carries me well around the world.



The course out to the Atlantic.
