Becalmed

If you want to know how it feels to be in the middle of the Pacific ocean on a sailboat and without any wind, just ask us! Right now are moving at about 1 knots to wards Hawaii. We may arrive for Christmas!

The good news is that so far (11 AM) nothing has required opening the toolbox. We will likely put the engine in gear for a few hours while we recharge the batteries.

Still a lot of debris sighting. Multiple boats reported seeing 55-gallon drums like we did a few days ago.

Every morning we have to log our position at 8:00 AM. Then we have the choice to either email it, text it or leave a voice mail for the race HQ. Then at 9:30 AM, there is a radio net on short wave radio (SSB). The boats that did not send their position are required to do so at that time otherwise the net controller reads the position that was sent (or the one from the Yellow Brick tracker).

Last minute update; we are getting some SW wind… Count on us for Thanksgiving!
