We are having a beautiful morning. Sun is up and we are sailing 5 to 6 knots. Crew is feeling good and we all finally got some sleep. Looks like we are going to have a good fishing day!

Departed Hampton 1 Day Early

Moonshadow departed Hampton VA on Nov 3, a full day ahead of schedule.  After analyzing the weather forecasts, the rally office determined that a good weather window exists for the next several days and that it's best to leave early rather than late.

Moonshadow was delayed a couple of hours while a technician came on board to tweak some of the new electronics.  After eveything checked out they left the dock at about 3:30pm.
