There hasn't been that much "news" to report... Although the weather and sailing has been unusually pleasant so early in a Transpac, we're all a little anxious about our routing... We think we've done a good job following the advice we paid for (forecast and recommended routing) AND observing and reacting to the actual weather! We think we're in a good position skirting the ill-formed mispositioned high, while trying to sail as few miles as possible. It appears that a tropical storm well south west of us could provide some benefit - but HOW MUCH FARTHER south to go?! We expect a gybe in our future, away from the high (painful to sail almost due South, though.
In the meantime, Sail, Eat, Sleep. Pretty much in that order of priority.
No complaints yet about the food program... Still have plenty of fresh fruit, fresh deli wraps made aboard(today's pastrami, swiss and cole slaw wrap went over well), and junk food. The freeze dried veggie lasagna went over well, too. The freeze dried ice-cream was more of a conversation starter than desert, though!\
Hopefully we see some gains in the daily position report tomorrow... (we expect that the northern boats - although closer to Hawaii, will begin to suffer).
Cheers,
Barry
