Day 1: Comocean is hauling butt!

Comocean is moving fast and quickly catching up to the fleet. Despite their late departure they have made good headway in just half a day and are now in the thick of things. They have also made more easterly progress, which will be beneficial once the trade winds hit.
So far so good. I just wonder how loud and violent it is on board. They are moving at close to 7 knots over ground, but with the Gulfstream current it's probably closer to 8 or 8.5 knots. That's fast and we should all be grateful we're not on board tonight!
Stay tuned!
