2 hours until the 2009 Tybee starts!

We have 2 hours left until the start.  Today we will be sailing from Islamorada, FL to Hollywood Beach, FL, just over 90 miles.   The forecast is calling for 10 out of the Southeast but possibly switching to the west as we near Hollywood.  Looking outside at the palm trees swaying, I would say we already have 10, maybe more.  I hope this stays up or it could be a long long day!  Sorry I don't have any more pictures, we've been busy the last 3 days mostly doing boat work but we did manage to sail for a few hours each day to get our boat and ourselves dialed in to handle the next 546 miles.  The boat is rigged and all we have to do is get dressed and go, pretty good feeling!  I can finally say that we are actually 100% prepared.  All our efforts over the last 6 months are finally about to pay off!  Thanks again to family, friends, sponsors, and etc for all the support you have shown over this time.  

Stayed tuned for more updates... maybe tonight if I can muster up the energy.
