I spoke with Angela tonight about 7pm. She said they had 68.8 nautical miles to go (that is nearly 80 reg miles) to the North Point finish line. They have done about 70 miles a day, but have slowed down a bit. My bestGUESS at this point is between 10p, and Midnight Thursday night/Friday morning. I will be updating tomorrow throughout the day. After they cross the North Point, it should take about 2 hours to get to Port St. Charles.
Big Blue and her crew of 16 will depart Morocco in early January 2011 and arrive in Barbados less than 33 days later to claim the fastest Atlantic crossing by OAR. No motors or sails, Big Blue is entirely human powered. The crew of 16 will row 2 hours on and 2 hours off, for the nearly 800 hours they are at sea. They will be rowing non-stop and unsupported!

2/23/11—Brother Report: Aleksa has been rocking the Captain Underpants look for over a month now. And she wants everyone to keep texting her! “Everyday (sic) the messages are like Christmas!”
2/24/11—Brother Report: Aleksa says unto me: “Enjoying possibly one of the only times in my life where I’ll see so many stars so far away from any light. So many that the Milky Way blends in! Things like this make all the hard parts worth it. Wish everyone back home could be here to see what a truly amazing world we live in J. Song of the night:Find Yourself”
2/25/11—Brother Report: Aleksa has decided to name her bum sore, Petunia. Petunia apparently going to be partying like a rock star for the next 5 to 6 days. The sheepskin butt pad also went overboard. “Fail.”
