REMARKS:
Relative late takeoff.  Homestead lost internet capability, so 
getting flight plan into system took longer
than normal.  Coords further E than first progged (extra 30 - 45 
mins).  Real takeoff time should have
been 2015Z...  MX not available to release aircraft until 2000Z 
(arrived from Keesler (not St Croix) at
1900Z!  Got to first fix 0033Z.  Given credit for 00Z.  First two 
"fixes" were reccos until we had the NW
wind in the SW quad, which was finally obtained 10 nm from endpoint 
(16 kts found).  Next two fixes
were VDMs.  Sondes lined up well with extrap SLP and SFMR except last 
fix (HSS difference 22 m which
equals 2 mb, sonde had 1006, extrap 1003; LM reworked sonde and got 
1005 mb).  
We were lucky.  No flight orders, no BFT, no secrets, no spare, and 
no MX support.  No internet avail
at show time.  Coords were updated by NHC at 1500Z, but crew didn't get the update until 1845Z (show
time).  30 mins after show time crew found out we were about an hour behind, and never caught up.
Got the break of 30 mins for the on-time window, and got another 20 mins thru ATC direct routing.
