1 week at sea

05102008 1033EDT N28 18' W75 45' C340M S=5kn 341nm to Savannah

As of 10:33 this morning we've been at sea for one full week. We are about 160 miles closer to Savannah than planned so we're very pleased with our progress.

Last night we saw more jelly fish for the first time in a few nights. (The bio luminencence we mentioned a few days ago.)

Question for the kids: A few hours back, at the 8AM watch change, Scott commented that we're exactly 1 Lake Superior away. Last summer, Scott sailed from one end of Lake Suppiror to the other in a race called the Trans-Superior. (Souix St. Marie, Ontario to Duluth, MN) How long is Lake Superior and how far were we from Savannah at our 8AM Watch change.

Hi, Crew - I haven't seen any comments so far so I'm not sure how this works but I'm hoping the crew can view these comments. I just wanted to say how much we are all enjoying following your progress through your posts (& by posting your coordinates on Google maps too). Here's to safe sailing for the rest of your trip & send our best wishes to Pete that he's feeling better! This is from Rusty's sister, Faith
