Foggy Day

This is Gordon's Mom, Marcia, writing the post.  It is my "trial run" since I will be the one receiving telephone reports from Cathi who is on the pilot boat.   I will be then relaying updates via this blogsite.

This morning we woke up to a very foggy day.    Visibility is about 50 yards max.     We still have no firm date or time yet BUT it tentatively set for Thursday AM.  

Gordon and Cathi are now planning what she will throw out to him for every feed.   Typical feed alternates from liquid protein drink ONLY to liquid plus food.  Food varieties include:  Little Debbie Swiss cake roll, 3 chicken nuggets, cereal bar.    During the night, she will send out a hot chocolate a couple of times.

We will definitely update you all once we know a firm departure date.

Cheers!   MG
