2011 01 15 And They're Off Again
Big Blue made a stop in Tarfaya and restarted their Record Breaking Row to Barbados at 8PM GMT
That was quick! Big Blue left Tarfaya at about 8PM GMT tonight. They are on their way to the record. They are moving at 4.7 to 5.1 knots at the moment. They dumped about 1000 pounds worth of stuff and there are some very happy locals. They dumped tools and stainless hardware that they did not need and lots of the heavy drink mix that was on the boat. Angela assures me there is plenty of food on board for the whole crew. She has always been right on with food on her other 3 rows. The quick return to the sea hopefully will keep them all from getting sea sick again.
To beat the record Big Blue will have to arrive in Port St. Charles Barbados in less than 35 days 6 hours from when they left. My calculations are then 19th of Feb as a arrival.
Charleston sends love and support to big blue crew!
