Not really much to report today. It HAS been a really fantastic day on the water. Sunny, warm, a few tropical clouds floating by. Pretty perfect actually.
It would be a bit more fun with some higher winds, but I suspect all of our competitors agree with that and that more wind probably benefits them, rather than us. So, we'll just settle for what we have and keep working hard to get down the course.
Our forecasts continue to show more wind both ahead and astern, so it's difficult to see how we'll be able to catch the leaders up front, and at the same time we are faced with the challenge of holding off boats like Recidivist and Sabrina behind.
The sun has set and the squall lords are beginning their evening work. Looks like it will be a busy night of connecting the dots, using the squalls to our advantage, and trying to avoid any light winds that they leave behind.
All are well. Even after our first night of freeze dried dinner!!
More tomorrow after roll call!
-Jim
