As someone else put it in another blog, we have become creatures of the sea at this point. Our lives revolve around the wind, the watches, and one warm Heineken a day.
The current positions come out once a day over the SSB at about 9AM, which has become our one real connection with the race against the others, as opposed to our constant concentration on making the boat go fast to Hawaii.
We’ve been under Spinnaker for the last 2-3 days in light-moderate air, constantly hoping for headers to get the broad reach angles we need to maintain hull speed.
I forgot my headphones, so I’m listening to the RC Comms boat on my ipod earbuds plugged into the HF set.
