Captain Bill Foster and crew are in the process of wrapping up the first day of their Michigan to Marco Island, Florida trip. While we had various technical issues through the day with 3G cell internet connections, photo uploads, and position updates, we captured a significant portion of his trip through downtown Chicago and hope to improve our ‘uptime’ performance in the coming days as we refine our connection techniques.

While we await Capt Bill’s report for the day, you can browse the slideshow below which includes a couple of screen shots from Google Earth during the live cruising and a large number of webcam still through about 3pm this afternoon.
