The computer is less and less available as Rossi is pulling is hair off
to find the right time and area to jibe toward Hawaii. The weather
changing very rapidly does not help either.
Slow progression this afternoon. Squalls surrounds us and we alternate
with winds at 20+ knots in the squall with tons of rain and winds at 10-
knots after the squalls. We have started the day with a jibe to try to
play the squall but without much success. Since we have jibed 3 more
times and are heading back west on starboard tack. Day time is very hot
but thankfully the squall's rain refreshes the air … but hardly down
below. Gary made us some quesadilla for breakfast … and it was much
better than the freeze-dry scramble eggs!

L'ordinateur est de moins en moins disponible car Rossi s'arrache les
cheveux pour trouver le bon moment pour empanner. The temps change
rapidement et cela n'est pas pour aider.
Lente progression cette apres-midi. Les grains nous entourent et nous
alternons entre des vents a 20 noeuds avec souvent a la cle une bonne
douche froide et des moments de petole. Nous avons commence la journee
par un empannage pour essayer de jouer devant un grain mais sans grand
success. Depuis nous avons empanner 3 autre fois et naviguons de nouveau
en direction de l'ouest tribord amure. Les journees sont maintenant
chaude mais heureusement les grains aident a rafraichir l'atmosphere ...
enfin par trop a l'interieur. Gary nous a cuisine des quesadillas ce
matin et je dois dire que c'etait bien meilleur que les oeufs-bacons
dehydrates!

Konnie Oh Hey and
ReplyDeleteKarlee Oh Hey wish you all a fast finish and a safe sail....
Can not wait to see you!!!
Ted and Rob
ReplyDeleteOsake' Sushi was great, sorry your weren't with us. Gary said Konnichiwa and Amy wishes you a safe sail. They said come in when you get back, they want to hear all about it.
Ted, loved your descriptions of you sailing the waves. I can see tsky's and their colores, the lights that bounce off the waves and I really don't want to heat about the skate board ramp until you make it to land. Just kidding that's the mom in me!
Best of all is your reaction - it is pricless and exactly what we wanted to hear! Bring on more, we flat-landers are eating it up back home. You have everyone tuned in and waiting for more~
Round the last wave and ride it hard, Hawaii is in sight...GO FOR IT!
Love Mom (Tina)
Nous ne grimpons pas au mat , mais refuge du Saut au programme de demain a Mottaret

Bon vent

Great teamwork, progress, and updates. Relish the opportunities each day to see how you're faring. JB, you'll have to find a new type of triathlon event that takes advantage of your starboard tack leg muscles! Keep it safe and fun - wishes for a winning result. - Ian R
