Team Tiki Blue was off to a roaring start yesterday (Tuesday, July 8, 2014). They crossed the start line at 11:40 am then proceeded on a port tack past the Golden Gate Bridge to the north shore along Marin Headlands. With full main and jib, they saw boat speeds of 7-8 kts. Wind was blowing through the slot (under the Golden Gate Bridge) at 18 kts, with gusts to 22 kts. The excitement and speed tapered off as they sailed past Point Bonita and wind speeds dropped. Crew energy level was very high, reviewing overall strategy (go north or south of rhumbline), watch schedules, and the Café Tiki menu (what's for dinner).
