Nice Exit!

Our fans up on the bluff (ok, so "fan" might be more appropriate) confirmed what we felt was a great start... There seemed to be quite a pile-up at the boat end of the line, and we felt the pin end was closer to the West End and that we would lay the West End easily. As it turned out, we were first around the "mark," though just a couple of lengths windward of the rock. Started with our #3 jib, and transitioned to our #1 when winds lightened.

Now moving nicely (2am) under Jib Top and staysail, with about 9.5+ knots of boatspeed in 15 knots of WNW breeze.

Hi to all, and thanks Mike!

Hi Guys!
I hope the wind has picked up to a desired level and all is well. How is that dehydrated food tasting? Tell Rob to watch that shoulder.
Good Sailing!
