Aloha All,

"It is a beautiful day on the Pacific. We went through some light air yesterday but found more wind last night and have pick up our pace. The big spinnaker is still up and we are now averaging about 8.5 kts. The ocean is mild with a 3 ft. following sea.

We set out our fishing line this morning and immediately got a strike but lost the fish before we could get it on board. Saw a large whale sleeping on the surface this morning. We altered course a few degrees to say hello and sailed right up to him, he looked us over and then dove not to be seen again.

It appears that Élan mis-reported their position yesterday and is still in second place ahead of us. We have our work cut out for us to beat them and the Wildflower. Both are doing well and will be a real challenge.

That's all for now, back to sailing..."
