Kynntana, in reviewing yesterday afternoon’s position report, saw that she was relatively close to Riff Rider. Carliane put out a call on the VHF but no response. Has seen winds from N to E and is sailing, hoping to not lose to much northing as she works east. All going well on board.
Rainbow is sailing directly for the barn, looks like Cliff has found the breeze.
Nightmare has tacked and is headed east, hoping to be lifted in 90 miles. He didn’t want to get closer to the High as it is descending slightly southward.
Tiger Beetle is motoring through the High. Barograph reports 1031 and rising a tiny bit. Wind light from aft quarter, seas smooth, grey overhead. Where’s the sun? No one was too certain why the bottom of the low clouds are flat.
Dolfin had a wonderful moonrise last night in clear sky, followed shortly by Mars – looked great to see over the ocean. Dolfin was wondering why everyone says there are no squalls during the day when in fact there are tons of squalls during the day.
Morning Star reports lovely sailing, especially with the spectacular dawn and sunrise.
Owl should be departing Hanelei today, hopefully we’ll hear him on the net this afternoon.
