We are out in open water with a wpt of Dutch Harbor. We are currently making good speed of 10.2kts. The forecast for the next couple of days looks favorable for travel. Of course we have plenty of projects to keep us busy, so I’m hoping for a good crossing. Clearly in the hands of Mother Nature at this point.
Bruce: Also of interest:Donovan Webster has been hired by Reader’s Digest to do an article on the search and will be on board the Aquila.
It is interesting to see that Readers Digest is going to do a story on the Grunion. I never thought anyone would be interested in looking up what happened to the Grunion except the families involved and know it will probably get nation-wide or even world-wide attention. I can never thank you and your brothers enough for filling in a part of my life that was missing. I will be ever grateful.
