Aloha everyone. I can now officially say that because we are about 3 days out (about 650 miles from the finish). Yesterday was once again a tough day. Clear skies where we were so no opportunities to play the rain cells. Given the vast separation, we felt some of our competition would have better opportunity than we had. So as evening fell we knew we needed a good night to dig out of our hole created during the day. Fortunately we found some cloud lines to play and had a nice ride towards the finish.Our goal is to say out of the sunshine today and slide our way to Hawaii.Of course once again the sked had us first in our division this AM, but we did lose some mileage to It's OK - They are one tough boat and crew (hats off to you guys).

Things are going well on the boat and I can honestly say there hasn't been a watch when I have come off that my stomach hasn't hurt from all laughing.
