Tom just called me to say that, there is an opening in the weather window that team Maserati have been waiting for, so it looks like the GREEN LIGHT
If the weather window holds for the remainder of the day, team Maserati during the night will cast off on the high tide out of North Cove Marina to get to the start point "Ambrose Light New York" for the Atlantic record attempt.
The predicted weather will take them initially north, so it will be cold & wet.
You can follow the record attempt on the web site denoted at the beginning of this email trail.
God speed and a safe journey to all of Team maserati, if all goes well Tom might be off the coast of Cornwall Tuesday/Wednesday
YaHoo!
