Going to Sea
Tomorrow morning Billy Ruff'n with her able crew of five heads out of Norfolk, Va for sea. Next stop -- Tortola!

The boat's in great shape, the crew is strong and the weather forecast is OK for the first 72 hrs. What more can you ask for? Wish us luck!!

We have a transponder on board and our progress can be tracked on the Carib1500 website (Cruising Rally Association | Offshore sailing - Adventure, Camaraderie, Competition) by clicking on the "Event Tracker" link.

I'll try to check in again once we're south and within internet range.
