Jer: I read Tim’s post and feel bad about busting his contemplative mood last night after waking up a little crabby and insisting on taking the Code Zero down. For clarification, we refer to that sail as the screecher, Code…

We have 850 miles to go. That means we made another 140 miles of progress towards our destination. We sailed all day and still have the code zero out after diner for a while at least. Last night we took…

We still have about 1480 miles to go so we made another 175 miles of progress today. We didn’t fly the spinnaker all day and the winds were gusting to 35 over the night and had a few small squals.…
