    We'll talk about this year's race and how to avoid some score-worsening mistakes at the Competitors' Meeting, 1900-2100 on Wednesday Feb 25, at Oakland YC. More importantly, the competitors' meeting is your best chance to meet fellow racers, and get sage advice from the skippers with decades of racing experience. The Corinthian Competitors' Meeting is also the awards meeting for the Three Bridge Fiasco, so you can also get a lot of post-race insight into where people went and tips for next time.

Jamani reporting on progress..

After 5 days of sailing and over 850 nm from the GGB, things are settling into a routine. We survived the (very) windy reach with minimal carnage, then Jamani fought through the transition zone desperate to get south. What a weird Pacific High this year! Even at latitude 30N (ie Mexico) we still suffered high pressure and low wind speed. Yesterday, at latitude 30N I crossed Maersk Tender around 1600 hrs. It looked strange, two large commercial vessels very close together. They politely informed me that they indeed were tethered together – with a net(!) – sweeping plastic out of the High. They asked me to get out of their way as they had “limited maneuverability.” As did Jamani, with 3 kts boat speed in 5 knots of wind. But we avoided them and wish them well on an amazing mission.

Here’s best wishes for safe and fast tradewind sailing to all the competitors.
