Slow start

We've been racing for two days now, and still apear to be leading our class as of this morning's roll call. There's one boat straight ahead in the other class that started on our day- we passed them yesterday and they've made ground on us overnight. Working to fix that now.

Food has been very good- the first night was Joan's baked pasta with meatballs, last night was James the wonder chef's Jamaican chicken with pasta primavera. I know the freeze dried stuff is going to be awful once the frozen stuff runs out...

Weather has been very light, with lumpy cross-seas, and a low that seem unnaturally attracted to us- we just can't get away from it. Every forecast has us taking longer to finish, but they've all been wrong to a large extent anyway.

Otherwise Friction Loss is treating us well, no breakages, just two lost butt cushions over the side. Tying lanyards on the ones we have left...
