June 9 update
http://lerevereport.blogspot.com/2008/06/belated-departure-picture.html

Taken from the Le Reve blog..

I have updated the map with the latest findmespot location sent fromle
Reve. Click here (you can bookmark this map if you want to)

I received a call from Dad on the sat this evening. We had a short
talk - and then he had to call back as the call was dropped. The
second connection was much better. Dad's numbers indicate that they
are about 540 miles of shore and about 1/4 of the way to Horta and
expects to arrive in 10 days. He reports speeds of up to 10 knots on
occasion since entering the Gulf Stream - previously topping out at
about 6 knots.

They have had a few minor issues only this far into the trip, but
sounds like everyone is enjoying the challenges that are presenting
themselves. First off the watermaker wasn't working properly. With a
call into the manufacturer and all the smart guys on board they
corrected the problem. The other thing that is not working is the
radar. They have a backup system AIS which is working very well. He
mentioned they have seen a few ships using the AIS and are comfortable
with it's abilities even though they have been experiencing thick fog
in the am and pm. Seas are calm right now, but they had some rough
seas this am causing difficulty in moving around on the ship without
holding on to something.

More information to follow as I receive updates.

The picture here is courtesy of Gary & Pat Marchenia Aboard PrimeTime
in New York. I didn't get it in time for the first post and I thought
I would put it in here.

June 11 Update

Got a SAT call and a text message saying that all is going well aboard
le Reve. They are here
You can also see the line of progress by clicking here
The information that I have so far is that rough seas forced them a
little farther south than they wanted, but that the wind is expected
to shift to the west which should get them some better speed, that is
suppose to happen in about 2 days. The call I got tonight said that
they had a great day, only low rolling waves and that they caught (and
ate) a Mahi mahi. It was nice to have some fresh fish! Dad made the
comment that the crew were wondering when they might be getting bored,
because so far no one has! Everyone is doing well on board and Dad
apologized for not sending a location update yesterday, but poor
weather forced him inside before the findmespot device could get a
good link to the satellites. Look for more updates soon!
