Shortly after we left Fort Pierce yesterday we began hearing announcements from the Coast Guard about a missile launch from Cape Canaveral. The launch was scheduled to take place at 2:57 pm and all mariners were advised to keep clear of the flight path. We compared our coordinates with the ones given by the Coast Guard and we were in the clear. The launch time came and went without any sighting of a missile. We didn't know if it had been postponed or we were too far away to see it. Finally, an hour and a half later I spotted it. Although I saw many of these while growing up near Cape Canaveral in the 60's, this is the first we have seen from Breeze On.
We are moving right along in the Gulf Stream on our way to Beaufort, NC. Last night and this morning we were sailing into a northerly swell with wind chop coming from all directions. It made for an uncomfortable ride but the waves are finally in sync and coming from behind.
