Andy - batshit sailing

We are doing some hauling of the ass this night. We are all working to get some serious miles on today. There are 30 kts of breeze moving at the same speed and directions as the waves. The boat is humming like a laser and staying on her feet. E can feel ourselves gaining on Hawaii (and hopefully the competition). We might have to knock the shoot and pole out the jib again, but right now the drivers are felling fresh and feeling that they can push it.

Bob and Tim are tearing it up on the helm and Jimmy is trying to sleep after being up for about 24 hours today. He did a great job managing the crew and trying to keep us fresh for just this type of occasion.

Andrew and I are down below in our gears ready to go on deck and clean stuff up if we push too hard, but I think we are going to make it without having to take down the chute. We will see, it is a tough call.

Bet the time you read this, we will have broken something or sailed smart and aggressively. We are certainly giving it a lot of thoughtful considerations. We are being safe.
