Wind Runner has several radios and telephones and internet services on board. VHF radios will be used to talk with other vessels and harbor services that are nearby. An SSB radio will be used to talk over long distances.
Blackberry and Verizon cell phones will be used for voice and data communcation while in port and near shore. For voice communications offshore a satellite telephone will be used. Skype will also be used for voice calls while in Bermuda.

Hi there! This is SOOOO cool. You are going to have so much fun and the reason I know that is because you are leaving on my birthdate 6/15. Wishing you all the fun on land and sea...Laura
Good morning!
Vanessa and I are colleagues at Prudential... fair winds and following seas to the entire crew! Your blog looks great, except you need a picture of the crew...
I do plan to live vicariously through your posts over the next few weeks, and will also post a few thoughts along the way.
Bon voyage,
Brent Harder
Jim and Van, godspeed and happy sailing. May the Gods of the sea smile upon you.
Admiral V. Williams and crew,
Good morning. There is nothing quite like the feeling of preparing for a great adventure. Enjoy the experience and keep your goals in mind.
I'll check back soon.

Reads like a good time was had by all...if only I could have been there! Vanessa & I are college friends/sorority sisters so I know she is good people and a great entertainer. I am thankful for the safety and enjoyment of everyone.
