Ralph called just a few minutes ago stating they were 112 miles from New York Harbor and that they would coming ashore sometime this afternoon. I am sure that they will be glad to get their feet on dry land. I know that their family's will be glad to have them home safe & sound.
It has been a long journey and they have accomplished their goal. To prove that the intruder is a sea-worthy flats boat. A boat that can go in shallow water anywhere from six inches of water and also be sea-worthy for those shor trips several miles out.
They stated that the weather was not bad at all and the seas were somewhat calm. They apologize to anyone that may have thought their trip was unsafe. They always felt that their safety was important that is why they watched the weather report and waited a week to come home. They also had brought aboard a satellite phone, an Emergency Position Indicating Radiobeacon (EPIRB), and they wore a teather that was tied on the boat at times. They both are very good in the water having grown up surfing in Cocoa Beach.
Thank God they are almost there.
