The gale warning for high winds is between 34 N to 45 N and 124W to 132 W.  As of this moment, I checked Delicate Balance’s GPS coordinates and they are at  42.39671 N and 130.15306.   These numbers never meant much to me before, but now I am paying attention.  Yup!   It will be a wet and tiring Tuesday.  They still have some distance to cover before they get out of the high winds area.  We just pray that they will be safe.

It is now 22 hours since the last message we get from Delicate Balance.  Yup!  No news yet for Day 4.

At least we can see their position from the Spot Messenger tracking device.  They are crawling behind at a steady speed of 6 to 7 knots.

Hopefully their cozy little bunks can keep them warm and comfortable.  They just have to tough it out for one more day and the weather shall get nicer and warmer.
