Looks like they just stopped....sargasso? Probably

Oh, did someone turn around? Nope, there they go again.

Now showing almost 50mph, must be beautiful water out there!

Hmm..stopped again, probably for a swim

Looks like they are making great time!

This isn't as interesting without an inreach and just making stuff up. But I imagine they are doing great!

I am shocked that no one has an inReach. At least they have a good forecast.

Yes with 0.7ft seas and a 7 second period they should be doing fine. With the calm weather yesterday there was nothing to build up and it turned out just as it should have.

They were talking about leaving at 530-545. Should be there by now or really close as long as all boats were running solid. Hopefully we get a report from some who made it over yesterday soon they landed safely.

At least One ski from this morning has made it to the sands. Don’t know who but saw him trying to find things at the gas pumps.

I was on his port side right behind him. I think he would say I was following too close :) sorry about that. I told him after we got here how surprised I was while it was rough ride for the Glastron I would watch your boat and it looked like it was rocking in slow motion. Already thinking about upgrading for future trips :)

I have a feeling it is not just the Yamaha vs Glastron issue. I am sure it has a lot to do with the captain’s experience as well :)
You were totally fine. So glad you made it across! It was another boat in the group that Brian had to get on the radio to establish a 200 foot rule while moving. He was reckless and almost hit them a few times ....
