Dom Mee to cross the Atlantic in kite powered boat

Dom Mee will be making a 3500 mile trip across the Atlantic ocean starting in mid August. The journey will start right here in the maritimes, in St. Johns, Newfoundland. It will take Dom Mee approximately 35 to 75 days to complete the 3500 mile journey to Exmouth, Devon. The vessel is a 14 ft purpose built sea-going kite boat loaded with all the latest satellite and navigation gear. Dom will have internet access and will be posting progress reports on his KiteQuest blog

    I am in St, John’s. How can I find out Dom Mee’s scheduled departure date and time?

    Dom,
    All the very best, I will keep an eye on your progress, and pray that, kind winds, good seamanship, and a little providence, will see you safely across.
    Fraternal Regards
