We are off!

We had a great start! Good weather at the start in the bay, then got lighter after we went under the golden gate bridge, now the winds are building.

Everyone well. The only issue we had was that one of the primary winches was not working well. The good part is that we noticed well before the start and we were able to fix it! All good now.

I am just off watch, so want to get some sleep now. Another report tomorrow.
