Well, we are well into the transpac. I can’t go into all the maneuvering details in case our friends on magnitude are reading this. But needless to say that the tactical battle is in full swing. Both boats are trying to learn each others strengths and weaknesses. The 6 hour delay in the scheds also makes things a little more tricky in trying to understand who has what kind of wind where. We had some tricky sailing last night with it being very dark and very shifty breeze.
Conditions on the boat are definitely starting to get warm and sticky. Getting any air circulation through the boat is a premium.
Moving the stack is becoming a constant activity. Up, down, forward, aft…
Soapie is working hard on finding us the right lane of breeze as we approach the pacific high.
