As suggested yesterday, we're currently bested on corrected time by Reinrag 2, who dug farther south, and gained more ground with better wind.
Matt and Joe have just given birth to two new shipmates. Matt's is a monkey, and Joe's is an octopus.
Like the original crew of Cipango, these critters need sleep every 4 hours. I give them very little chance of surviving the 1173 miles to Hawaii!
We're past the halfway point in miles sailed and handicap miles. From all accounts, we should be past halfway measured by time, still expecting to make the island on Monday.
Best to all, and thanks to those who provided the interesting halfway presents - well taken junk food and bizarre electronic pets!
Sailing along west in mild trades, 1173 miles from Diamond Head. All aboard are well, perhaps, except the octopus, who may already be suffering.
Cheers,
Barry

Salut à l'équipage et particulièrement à JB!
Je pensais que je te verrai par Google Earth en train de me faire coucou mais même en zoomant à fond je ne te vois pas!
J'espère que tout va comme vous le voulez, que la bateau va vite et bien...
Bonne nav'
Olivier
