Breeze was full on yesterday seeing 34knts at the top end. Quester set another speed record of 17.2 knts. Its like seeing an RV pass you on the highway going 140 mph. Sure they can go that fast but should it? Breakfast update, the Maple Pecan scones were outstanding.

Things got a little sporty for the Quester yesterday and into the evening. Trades came in with an attitude with a tight wind waves and 22-28kts of wind. This old girl couldn't push the water out of the way fast enough for her 28 tons to rumble down the track. Needless to say 17.2kts of boat speed never felt so frightening. Managed to survive the night and all on board now fully battle tested. Despite the bucking bronco try to throw us and roll thru 30 degrees our awesome chef Lisa served up an other incredible dinner. Getting closer every sked. Aloha, Quester.

Beautiful day/night of sailing. Days like that are why we do this race. Evening saw a full moon so bright you could read a book on deck. We celebrated our half way point with an incredible Pineapple Upside Down cake by our Chef Lisa who is earning her 3rd Michelin star on this trip. Quester continues to rumble down range and the crew is starting to dream of Mai Tais. Our thoughts are with the boys on OEX and their tragic end to the race. Highest respect to the crew of Pyewacket for coming to their rescue. Thanks TPYC, Quester Standing by on chnl 16.
PS, Rox says thanks to Team Wai Lani for the half way bag of treats.
