Sorry for the delay. We have been working through some computer problems on board. The computer systems first lost AIS data, then boat data to the laptop, and finally we couldn't connect the satellite phone. After two marathon sessions to repair, we decided to look behind the nav station to find the entire electronic panels soaked with water! Traced it to a loose horn cleat topside and resealed. Right now we have fans aimed into the space, but we expect to have some limited data capability.
It was been very bumpy as we push through this phase of the race, but we have been slowly catching our competition. Hope to gain a position or two in the next few days.
With Jim driving, we hit well above 10 knots. Our other drivers are closely matching as well. Can't wait to get to phase two of the race and smooth the boat out.
