Update

Day three has come and leaves with a sunset almost as beautiful as the last. After some miserable drifting last night, we're now moving along nicely. It's a slower race than hoped but has had it's interesting tactical exchanges - particularly last evening between us, the DK and Blue Blazes. Now we're on our own with with no visual contact of others but we get the daily post of locations at 9 AM. So far, not in bad shape.
Right now is great. Without using terms like "inverted lows", we've got winds now from the west at 11 kts, water absolutely flat and we seem to be in a favorable position. The VMG kite is pulling well, Sympathy For The Devil on the box, the smell of beef stroganoff starting to heat. You get to know your mates now as stories exchanged to pass time on deck become more personal. Good times.

Now someone else can get you updated with all the technical crap.
