Moorglade's Voyage - High winds and communication problems

High winds and communication problems

Moorglade's Voyage

Ted Wilson

Mon 17 Jun 2013 19:01

Our position is: 39:56.59N 65:46.44W

Monday 17 June

I have spoken to Ted on the phone this evening and he asked me to do this blog to reassure everyone that in spite of 45kn winds last night and a blocked toilet they are OK, but suffering communication problems (unspecified). He is confident that they can fix these but gave me no indication of how long he thought it would take (or which was receiving the priority).

I guess the winds have dropped as I couldn't hear anything screaming in the rigging (wind or crew!) Fingers crossed for resumption of normal service asap
