Good evening,

It will be a fun drive tomorrow. Fred will be leading the drive initially and then I'll lead it for the remainder of the drive under his guidance and support. Given the convoy length and experience of the drivers we will not have a Center Forward and we'll have Andrei in Sweep.

@Frederic in Lead

@Emanuel in Second Lead and partial lead

@Zsolt in position 3

@essam ibrahim in position 4

@Andrei S in Sweep

We will use Carnity Channel 4, which is 446.081.

Get lots of rest and see you in the morning.

 

Updated the convoy order as I see @Glenn W has withdrew.
