Day 6 Report 2

Day 6, Tuesday 4/11, 4:15 PM

Got off watch at 3 and took a quick nap, l had a bite and sitting down
to write a quick update.

I see JB has been issuing some nice updates for everyone, so as you may
already know, we are in the thick of the Trades and moviing right along.
In these conditions driving becomes less taxing since options are
reduced and the boat is far less influenced by confused seas. In this
breeze, you simply ride down the face of waves and punch right through
anything that would have otherwise been a concern. Good stuff.
Did a quick chafe check yesterday and everything seems to be holding up
nicely (we did blow a jib halyard oon our way around Catalina.).

Think I'll go take a bath on the back of the boat. Not quite totally
sunny, but about 85 and pleasent enough not to freeze.

Hey Lindsay! A couple notes:

2.25 inch is the stuff - 500 ft
Loved the Farm comment
Missing you both!

Estimated ETA Sunday 2:00 AM. Very rough at this point and will
continue to keep you posted.

Much love,
Kevin

  1. Great Job you guys. It takes a Frenchman to keep the rest of us posted as to what is going on. JB appreciate keeping your promise for regular updates. Sail fast and try to keep up with the Dudes (AKA the Criminals). Regards to all of you especially Kevin, JB, Doolittle and Rossi. I'd rather be sailing to Hawaii.

    Regards,
    Mario

    PS. The new deck is turning to be an awsome investment. The boat will be looking brand new.
