Loading is almost complete. Camera is IN. Ditch bag and life raft are IN. Tools, oil and spares are IN. Clothes are packed. Charts, paperwork and flight plans are packed. Wes installed the HF radio two days ago and we tested it in flight. Great reception and transmission.

Think I'm almost ready. I'll fly to Ft. Pierce early Thursday morning, April 29th, and meet Wayne there. He should have arrived today, from TX, in his Bonanza. We'll finalize flight plans and depart at 10am. EApis is filed... I won't say more about our customs and immigration requirements or I might start swearing.

Tomorrow's flight should be about 6 hours from Ft. Pierce. We're going into Punta Cana on the southeast coast of the Dominican Republic. I'm going to be on HF radio, 14,300 at noon eastern time, 1600 zulu, each day that I fly.
