Apparently even of the cooking! Here is a shot of Chuguar in the Galley of Narrow Escape whipping up some mid afternoon appetizers for the crew.
You have got to get a look at the tracker on the race website. It works great and really puts you in the race.
While there is some race track yet to go it looks like they got off the start line in good shape. My best guess at this time is they will make Catalina about midway between Isthmus and the West End - so a short hitch to get around. Then the trick will be getting offshore before the land affected breeze shuts down for the night. The last weather chart I saw suggested that today might be the last one for a few days where there will be decent breeze near shore too.
And what about that forecast? It is enough to get you scratching your head about the best course down the course so to speak. They promised they would never go north again after the last time but it sure is tempting based on the next 48 hours predictions! I will be interested to see which way they go.
But whatever transpires worry not. As in the Galley, Chuggy has a firm hand on the tiller!
