Leaving the LBC


















1400 PDT, 33.37.33 N, 118.23.26W, Wind 12 @ 250T, Speed 6, COG 206T, Cloud Cover 50 percent, marine scud - clearing, Race Time 1 hour 0 minutes, DTF 2211.7 Miles.
These fresh photographs from John Northrop, our affiliate in Long Beach, of Narrow Escape leaving the harbor to begin their adventure.
Remember all that I told you about 4 hours tracking delay? Well forget I said that. The game is on and the tracking is running in real time updated hourly!
Which brings me to some changes on the header. Key among them we are changing over from Magnetic to True Wind Direction and Course over Ground. And for the first time we are reporting Distance to Finish!
Check back often.
