Position: 32.62 W 77.64 N, at 1600 Z, 58 miles from Cape Fear
Heading: North, Northwest
Speed: Not reported
Engine problems continue so have turned back and are heading to Cape Fear for repairs and plan to arrive on Monday afternoon. The hope is repairs can be made on Tuesday with a Wednesday departure, now direct to Nova Scotia. Captain and crew and doing just fine - so not to worry!
More soon and maybe while the repairs are being made, we'll get a blog posting from Woody. We'll keep you posted though as we hear more.

Not One of the Finer Days
Day #3, Saturday, May 29, 2010
Time of Report: 2200 Z
Position: 32.30 N, 78.43W
Heading: NE
Speed: Did not report speed but the winds were from the east at 15 knots with heavy chop an foot seas
JD and Woody continued sailing in the Gulf Stream and experienced some rain but managed to avoid the thunderstorms. They were being pushed northeast due to unfavorable winds and current. They started having engine problems and suspected it was the filters and were going to try and fix it. The weather forecast for Sunday was favorable winds from the South, Southeast with winds freshening from 10 to 15 knots - so hoping for a better day.
More soon! Tracy
