Day started with sail change from A1.5 to A3 last night at midnight when it went into the 20’s.  Black night again but we could see the phosphorecen (spelling) on the breaking waves around us.  What a blast to drive down waves into the black night. I had a great ride setting the new record driving once the A3 weent up doing 17.84K.  More of that to come. This morning was some big holes and it showed in our sched, we are working hard to let the dog off the leash not just take it for a walk. Sally we…

Last night was one of those dark nights off shore when you are happy for the big NKE readouts.  Jib top, staysail, and full main.  Big shifts and lots of up and down pressure but we kept her on her feet and made the miles. Today little saildrive issue pulling water to cool the engine in for the batt charge.   But with a boat full of engineers it was solved and batt is charged.  Now 1.5 and full main making miles in the SUN. Time for my afternoon nap. Elaine Buzz wants you to check to see if Erika Waslan…

Well David has not eaten all the peanut butter yet. Easy reach out last night and set kite this morning.  All are well and we have started to get in to the offshore grove.  Just realized I am writing exactly 24 hrs after the start. Off to my bunk and more tomorrow. Nice nap and woke up to Brent, Jim, and Kame flying the Condor.  Big kite up and making miles. Kame quote of the day, “Dont bother me I am sailing,” with his huge smile. Back into full kit and start my watch.    Aloha

Boat is packed and team meets tomorrow morning for our ride West. Couple of shots below while we were packing today. Thank you for all the nice emails and well wishes.  We appreciate the support. Team CC

Yesterday was the first test post from the boat and today is the last post from land.  We start racing in the Pacific Cup, a 2000 mile race from San Francisco to Kaneohe Bay, Hawaii. 48 boats are participating, with starting times staggered; the slowest boats started Monday, July 16, and the fastest will start Thursday, July 19. The goal is to have all the boats finish sometime during  the weekend of July 28-29. California Condor was launched in 2010.
