All crew are fine but quite tired. Made our move yesterday to commit to the Southern route and have been hauling all day and night flat out- spinnaker and double-reefed main sail. Large seas (appx 9 ft waves) and strong wind (25 knts). We will be setting a new record with Urge - probably 250+ miles the last 24 hrs. Everything is soaked below now as green water is routinely crashing over the bow and spilling over the trimmers and drivers. A bit refreshing at 0200. Oh, and it is raining lightly.
Food is moving more to snacks that are available as it is very difficult to work below.
We are eager to see the standings today: who pushed it and who pulled back.
Good times but all of us really want to be in warmer climates and out of these wet foulies!

ReplyDeleteNote to friends of Jamani and the Boogie: The boats are fine. These two transponders are not sending a position, but they are just fine. We are working on the transponders. Please visit the reports page for the latest human-collected position data.
Thank You Kristen!! Right on the top of the page where I couldn't miss it which is why I did.
