Preparing to Cast Off

Just a few hours left before our start now and we're ready. It will
take us about three days to make it to Turtle Bay. By Tuesday some
stronger winds should be heading down the coast, chasing us along. The
forecast says 20 kts from the north and that sounds like a blessing.
Sally will fly in those conditions. The front is supposed to dissipate
by Thursday, returning us to the regularly-scheduled weather.

Since we didn't win an award at the costume party yesterday, we're
going to step it up a bit for the starting line. Keep an eye on the
San Diego newspapers today. That's all I'm saying...for now.
