Day 3 Report 1

Sat, July 4th, 8:05pm

Flat sea, cloudy sky, wind of 7 to 12 knots coming from 340.
We sat in few holes this morning, we even set the daisy sail (1) to seek
the wind for few minutes. The wind turned a little bit right since and
is more stable. We are now carrying Jib Top (2) and Stay sail (3)
allowing us to go to 230. Tactically, we try to keep an eye on our
competitors and position ourselves between them and Hawaii.
JP inspected hayliards at the top of the mast and everything looks good.
Besides few dolphins after Catalina Island on day one we have not see
any sea life.
Diner tonight is dry food .. Jamaican Chicken and for desert some dry
mango that looks like pop corn.

(1) Daisy sail is a small sail that we set with the spinaker. Since it
is a light sail with no baton we also used it to seek for wind when
there is none.
(2) Job Top is a front sail that looks like a Genois but with a clew
much higher.
(3) Stay sail is a small front sail that we carry between the Jib Top
and the main sail.
