Hi Everyone, I talked with Huwaida several hours ago. The first hours of the journey were very slow, less than 6 knots an hour due to heavy winds (15 to 20 knots) and high seas. By about 11 pm or so they were making about 8 knots an hour. They anticipate that they'll arrive at the 20 mile mark off Gaza at about 1 pm, today, Thursday, January 15. So they'll arrive in Gaza during daylight hours.
The satellite phone was working so Huwaida and I were able to communicate well on the satellite phone. If you look at the satellite tracking system on the website, it looks as if they are in international waters off Saida in Southern Lebanon so they are nearing international waters off Israel. Stay tuned.
