Where The Boys Are...Challenge days 5 and 6

It's a long way around the state of Florida even if you don't have to face the traffic on 75 or 95.

As I type from my cozy hotel room, the Spawnsters are dodging thunderstorms. As evidenced by the multiple little green dots on the image of their track, the barky is creeping along in light air.

And yes, the SPOT is still spotty, though it did reel off hours of coverage yesterday, so  <ironic fistpump> yay SPOT.

Once the team got within cell tower reach, they called to check in. They sound tired, which is not surprising, and they are basically in a race to get to Fort Clinch/St.Mary's before the monster cold front arrives, bringing big wind and 40-degree weather.

But of course it looks like it's pouring down rain all day and I don't see a lot of breeze for them in the forecast until it's a LOT of wind.

I'm going to suggest they hunker down in St. Augustine for a couple of days –– this is permitted in the event rules, though of course I am not allowed to help them hunker. But they are the captains of their own fates and it's their boat.

My knuckles are tender, but still, I knock wood...
