News
Helllllllooooooooooooooo!
Cass here. The bad news is that I will be the one doing most of the daily email updates but the good news is that the whole crew has some fun ideas to keep all you following our race entertained, although I'm pretty sure most of these ideas are just to give us something to do while we're out here.
Elliott just asked me who I was emailing and I told him obviously our fan club. He's currently off watch and laying in his bunk. I'm not sure which is pinker, his crew shirt or his face. Yes, 5 1/2 hours in and he is already burned.
Right now we're cruising upwind at heading of roughly 220 with the wind consistently between 9-12 knots. Basically we're just trying to get the outtta dodge. Gotta be honest, the heal is not exactly cruisy but we'll take the gains.
So far we've seen a couple pods of dolphins and a sunfish. Lots of kelp too, especially as we got closer to the West End.
We enjoyed our burritos, they we're still warm, and now are trying to get into the watch schedule.
The whole crew says thank you again to all the family and friends who helped us get here, both in San Diego, Long Beach, and from afar. Longer update to come tomorrow.
Aloha!
