Leaving Portland

Hi Folks:

Cold night last night - even now at 0900 local time it is only 7 Celsius. We're starting another jump in an hour or so, this time to Provincetown on the Cape. We hope to be at sea only 22 hours or less, and are expecting 15-20 knots of wind off the land until darkness, when it is supposed to lighten up. With the wind off the land, seas should be low, and except for the cold and lack of sleep, we ought to be fine. We believe we're away from the worst of the lobster fishery problem, but will go
well offshore to be sure.

Cheers,
Laurie
