PV Race '08 - Day 5: Post Roll Call

Well best we can figure is that at roll call today
Blue Blazes owes us 7hrs and she was 73 miles ahead. Ouch, the wind has died out here. Hope we get it back before them and they arrive at night allowing us to catch up. Otherwise....
Valkyrie owed us 3 hours and was 18 miles ahead. That might be close, all depends.
Velos owed us 4hrs 45min and was 94 miles ahead. Wow, they are crushing everyone. But....they are not so flash in light air and that's today.
Bad Pack owed us 3.5hrs and was 32 miles ahead, we have some work to do.
Rain Cloud and Innocent Merriment owe us time and were behind us. No problem at this point.

Have not really paid attention to the big boats, but looks to me like the race weather favors the little guys that started first, or the big guys that past Cabo yesterday without much delay.
Today they all have 15 knots while we have 5 knots of wind at present.
