    We continue to drift along kind of frustrating. We are unlikely to have gone 50 miles in the last 24 hrs. Occasionally we get a gust of wind that moves us along at 2-3 knots, but that only happens for about 10 minutes every hour and the rest of the time we are less than a knot.
    We broke into our real food today. Chicken casserole with veggies. So good, plenty for everyone. I even got to have a midnight snack of a drumstick and some ginger cookies - tasty.
    The boat should be shaking itself to pieces in this con fussed sea but all of Cap'n JimBo's hard work has seemed to pay off. Brainwaves feels safe and sound, it isn't even that cold.
    It is hard to be fast out herein the no wind zone but all e other boats seem to be doing the same thing. We will learn more after radio check in the morning. You, with all your fancy "internets" could probably tell us how we're doing. Please don't, it's cheating.
    I'm off standby and am. Going to get some rest.
    Thanks for your support.

    Damn intriguing reading your updates and stitching it into the story laid out on the interwebs...dancing between a first person, third person and god-mode narrative. (3 tabs: blog, ionearth, noaa)

    Sail on you scurvy dogs! (Actually sounds like Cap JimBo has you covered on on the diet)

    Seriously intriguing!

    For some reason, the mobile version of the race tracking website is somewhat more current than the big Google map version. Right now, the mobile says they are 1956nm to finish, while the map says only 1972nm. But more exiting, its showing them up to 6 knots!
