You are passing huge groups of boats that are wandering aimlessly about. It will get harder as you progress, but your skills will improve as you go. Keep at it and let's see how you do. Most of us except Jake and Bjorn may not get to Cape Town before the time limit catches us. This is good practice for the legs to come.

I kinda figured that was the case. I saw this as a practice leg, chance to get my feet wet.

....and Scooby, et al in the "group".

The first two boats have finished and we have several Cat Sailor boats who should be arriving in the next couple days.

Good to see our group is still growing every day.
What do you guys think about getting some swag together for the overall winners of all the races? (Caps, shirts, etc)

I love the idea. My wife is expanding our graphics business into performance apparel and logo-esque items. We would be glad to pitch in some goodies. Let's chat about the details.
