..and we got it! Wind that is. It's continuing to blow 20-25 true knots. We are all a little pooped out so trying to assure everyone is resting enough. We had a little mishap with our spinnaker pole today as we were headed downwind with the genoa and it snapped in two. Luckily for us, at the last minute I gave Scott the okay to buy a second pole so we have a back up (TIC). We had a nice chicken and rice casserole for dinner which I think filled everyone's bellies nicely. Hopefully Tuesday we will see the sun and the halfway point. I think we need some spirit lifting with some shorts and bare feet, not to mention all of our little gifts tucked away on board. Here's to a little less wind so we can actually enjoy our treats. We heard he results of the World Cup, dare I say go Spain in front of some of my Roche colleagues!?

Alright, better get up on deck for my shift. Vince is bragging that he surfed 11.4 kts on the bow! Kim

P.S. I forgot to say the other day that Vince made the best EVER fish tacos from our amazing tuna catch! I have to say the best on the Pacific and you can't get any better. He definitely has set he bar for me.
