Great sailing between midnight and 8am this morning. Plenty of wind as squalls passed by one at a time giving us the opportunity to take advantage of the increased windspeeds and the shifts that allow us to gybe (many gybes this time!) and work our way towards Hawaii!!
No problems, all going well. All that is other than the fact that we don't seem to be able to make any consistent gains on a certain SC50!!
Halfway party and the always popular "Ugly Hawaiian Shirt Contest" today at noon!! Standby for a list of the winners!!
Lot's of blue skies, good winds, and some scenic clouds to enjoy along the way. Great to be back out here!

Morpheus was designed by Carl Schumacher, built by Davie Norris Boatbuilders in New Zealand and launched in 2002. She spent her first 18 months cruising the South Pacific before reaching her home port of San Francisco. Since that time, Morpheus has been raced and cruised extensively. This blog will document her ongoing adventures.

ReplyDeleteThis is worth looking at
Keep your eye on Summer Moon Division D I am thinking she is in a good spot to make big gains
ReplyDeletekeep an eye on all of division d. they made big gains. keep sailing fast and safe! luv u!
ReplyDeleteLooks like Morpheus' transponder decided to check in last night. Is it me, or is Hula Girl going to miss Hawaii and sail to Korea?
ReplyDeleteNow I'll be the first to admit that I know nothing about racing sailboats. But if the wind map overlay is correct, does it not look like Jim is on a better track that should get more help than Hula Girl? Maybe Morpheus will make up some time.
