Wow. With the exception of Lightning which has done a pretty outstanding job, we've got ourselves a race this time!! Recidivist, Saphire, ET, Kyrnos, Elixer, all really close to us and probably a few others.
We are all happy to see that the million or so gybes that we did yesterday with an emphasis on getting south has helped. We have more wind and made time on everyone in our class other than Lightning. They have saved their time on us already at this point, and while we've not given up we are a bit realistic.
Pushing the boat like crazy. Looks like some areas of light air floating across the course between now and our finish time so who knows what may happen. We are even thinking of a pretty wild "non standard approach to the finish from the south" as a last ditch effort to win this thing. Doubt we'll do that as the odds favor staying north initially!!
Chris doing well. Have had some moments of late night heroics. Great group, no issues on board. We all just want to keep pushing and see what happens.
We shall see.
