Progressing at 11 knots of speed in 15 to 17 knots of wind coming from
north. We are still under spinnaker R2 since … well I do not recall, I
start to lost count of days :-). The sea is still fairly flat and sky
partly cloudy. The temperature is nice and we are in short and T-shirt
on deck. The home made beef stew is un-freezing. After 2 dinners of
freeze-dries food we are all waiting for it with impatience.
Still first in our division, we are not surprised to see the boats from
division I, and II ahead now. Starting on Sunday they have had better
conditions than we have had. We are still leading all boats that left
the same day than us and intend to continue!
The nick name game has started on board. Results will be delivered as
they come.
We are receiving your comments left on the web site and everyone enjoy
reading them.

Nous progressons a 11 noeuds dans 15 a 17 noeuds de vent venant de Nord.
La mer se forme doucement mais toujours plate pour l'endroit, le ciel
est partiellement couvert et la temperature en hausse. Nous sommes
toujours sous spinnaker R2 et ce depuis .. et bien je ne me souviens
pas. Je commence a perdre la notion du temps :-). Le boeuf fait maison
est au menu ce soir. Et apres 2 diners de nourriture dehydratee, tout le
monde est impatient.
Toujours en premiere position dans notre division, nous ne sommes pas
surpris de voir les bateaux de la division I et II passer devant. Ils
ont beneficie de meilleur conditions en partant dimanche. Nous menons
toujours tous les bateaux qui sont partis en meme temps que nous Jeudi
et nous avons l'intention de continuer.
Le jeux des surnoms a commencer a bord. Resultat dans quelques jours.
Nous recevons vos commentaires et tout le monde les apprecis.

Glad the race is going well for you. We just finished a marathon 4th of July celebration at the yacht club from Thursday to Monday morning on the mighty Geraldine. Axel climbed a giant inflatable mountain in the anchorage and Gigi won her swimming race. We hope you have good winds and good luck.
ReplyDeleteLove Julie, Gigi and Axel
