We Hit the wall
Ocean RacePosition: 39,14.15S , 59,24.9E Speed: 7 knots, Course: 32 deg. We hit the wall. We have hit light air and are watching the others sail up to us. We are still being tormented by the old cold front that we fell off the back of about 48 hours ago. This is the same front that […]
Interesting Day Today
Ocean RacePosition: 41,8.50S , 52,35.54E Speed: 17 knots, Course: 82 deg. Very interesting day today that produced a lot of work for skippers and navigators. Basically the weather systems that we had been sailing in and planning on sailing for a few more days changed and we had to scramble to understand a new picture. The […]
We have been Battling All Day
Ocean RacePosition: 42,30.94S , 46,56.79E Speed: 14 knots, Course: 59 deg. We have been battling with ABN 2 all day. They caught up to us and nearly passed us in 20 knots reaching conditions. They recorded the best runs of the four lead boats on the last two position reports. Their extra form stability was perfect […]
We Continue to March Along
Ocean RacePosition: 42,56.9S , 38,23.49E Speed: 18 knots, Course: 82 deg. We continue to march along to the east is 18-20 knots of wind from 020. All is well onboard the Pearl although we did have a small electrical fire. Juggy and Jules sorted out. It was a “two alarmer”. That means it was only severe […]
We Found the Wind, Finally
Ocean Race43 south 25 East / Boat speed: 25 knots, Course 100True We found the wind, finally. It has been a slow start to Leg 2 but now we are on the “highway” heading east and chewing up miles. We throttled back on the second night when things got rough and Ericsson and Brasil 1 broke. […]
A Rough 15 Hours
Ocean RaceIt has been a rough 15 hours out here. Yesterday afternoon the wind came up to 30 knots from the southeast and some rather large and steep waves built up. Port tack in particular was very rough. The Pearl was launching off the waves at 11 knots and slamming down hard making some awful sounds […]
