We almost hit a 200 mile day but thwarted that objective with a 1 am roundup that required all hands on deck, knives to cut lines and then redeploy a smaller spinny. it was a long night however we had the second best run on distance over 24 hours and second best course made good. Boat is a bit trashed now after eight days of full out racing. Our division is a very competitive group and you can see on the tracker that it is still a race to the end. Our fastest speed reading to date is over 14 knots last night just prior to the crash at 1 am. I know you NASCAR fans will think that is pretty slow but driving a 25,000 lb furniture store across the pacific parting the sea requires a lot of horse power!
One major equipment issue--Toilet seat broke clean off the port head...we will work on that tody... fun at sea.
