Comms Test - Iridium to Blog

Just testing my comms before departure. Thank you everyone who has started commenting on the blog, facebook, and twitter. I can't tell you how much the words of encouragement and support mean to me. Please keep them coming! Just filled the boat with 65 gallons of diesel and 70 gallons of water. Finishing up the lose ends on a few projects including the sailomat, prop lock, and general cleaning and stowing today and tomorrow. Still looking to provision with fresh produce on Monday and set sail on Tuesday. Looks like some good winds heading this way that should get me at least 1/3 or 1/2 way to Galapagos. First jump, 900 nautical miles from Panama City to Galapagos non stop. Expecting a passage in the 7 - 10 day range depending on when or if I pick up the trades, location of the doldrums, and condition and speed of the Humboldt current.

The nerves have settled and now it is just a matter of heaving the anchor one more time and pointing the bow of Jargo West. Hope this blog posts....Cheers,

Lee
