Tuesday, July 12, 8:30 p.m. CA time. All is OK, brought batteries back up some today. 3-4 squalls, full out rain in afternoon and Everything is soaking Wet including me, I am soaked to the inside of my boots and bones, no dry spot on my body. My body heat is steaming up the inside cabin. Will warm up with some chow, but it will be a cool night. Hydrating well, eating well, sleeping well, 24 dry cookies left. Tore twins again as mentioned in an earlier post, but tore ’em again, so this will be my second repair, it will have to wait until July 13 morning. Reached midpoint sometime July 11 morning. Now, 760 miles to go and it can’t come fast enough. ETA roughly Sunday. #3 poled out with 2 reefs, 20-25 knots. Sky and sea angry most of this race. This passage has been a handful. Hugs to All! I’m racing here!
