Day 10
14 July 2022 | Pacific Ocean
Rodney
We did 163 miles over the last 24 hours and are 733 miles away from Hawaii. The breeze has been steadily building and we are on our final approach.
Now all the strategy and tactics are gone - we just need to sail fast, and stay ahead of our competition. Our pole is all the way back and we are sailing as
deep as possible.
Yesterday was our last day of breakfast burritos - a sad day indeed. When we left Alameda they were all frozen solid and at the bottom of our fridge. Over
the course of a week they gradually thaw. After a week the tortilla becomes less appealing, so Ted starting baking them at a higher temperate until they
were golden brown. They were fantastic! Now we are surviving of breakfast bars, but always enjoy fresh tea and coffee.
We do not normally fish while racing. This morning a flying fish landed right next to Moni's hand causing a great scream. After several unsuccessful
attempts, Ted was able to help the fish overboard so the wayward pilot could chase another boat.
Today's lunch is ham and salami, with pepperjack on sourdough.
Cheers,
Capt Rod
