Transpac Update #3

We are currently ripping along at 15 knots. People are eating, the boss is smoking a cigar and people are happy. We have our A2 up after going through a couple of changes. We sailed all night with our r2 and were moving along nicely. We had several peak speeds of 25 knots as the breeze built but mostly under control.On other subjects, most people ate lunch today, freeze dried chicken teriyaki. And peoples first bowel movements started happening also. So all in all, a pretty exciting day!The water is warming up and the thermals are coming off. Mickey is already walking around downstairs in his speedos.We are keeping a close eye on Magnitude. They are definitely keeping us on our toes.The talk on the boat is to juggle how high to go but stay away from the high. So right now we are having a pretty normal transpac.

JV driving, pirate on the main, Thomas trimming the kite, and last but not least, Blue and reaper on the handles. Oh and mickey in the back taking care of business.
