Easy Miles

0600PDT, 23.33N, 139.56W, Wind 045 @ 12, Pressure 1016, Cloud Cover (broken) 95 percent, Sea 3 feet, Distance run 24 hrs. 221, DTF 1001

Well they are nothing if not consistent. For two days in a row they have managed 221 miles sailing. Those two days put them 435 miles (or more than 3 Swiftsures' - long course) closer to Hawaii meaning they only wasted 7 miles chasing some new speed record I guess - so that's not bad.

And they have extended a little on the (Blood) Hounds. I estimate that they now have 2 hours of their handicap in hand - just 34 more hours needed - so giddy up.

After reducing J-Worlds lead by 15 miles over the last few days they gave them back a mile yesterday. And of course they need to find 15 hours handicap time for them by the time the get to Diamond Head. So I say a new plan is in order!
