Grinder Evil here!
We’re having a beautiful day in the sun drenched, crystal clear electric blue waters of the Pacific, tunes are playing happy hour is in full effect. Only one problem there is no
Unlike previous Transpacs' of the Baby Dart going north and searching for the shortest crossing of the high, we decided to go south “skirt the high” and let it come to us! Good news the majority of our fleet is in the same pickle.
We first felt the high about 0200 this morning with sails flapping all night, I even suggested taking the main down so Chuggy and Rosco could sleep. At role call this morning the fleet was reporting anywhere from 0-2 knots to 0-4 knots. Looks like however the Id-35 squeezed through on the edge and is looking pretty happy.
As I well know these are the worst possible combination of conditions for Plan B. Therefore it is a very important part of the race where staying in touch with their fleet is paramount.
I am glad spirits onboard seem high, in the face of this adversity, but it should be noted that some of their worthy competition is sneaking away a bit.
The good news is Roscoe is getting way ahead with his reading!
