All ready to go!

After waking at the crack of 10 this morning, we raised the mast and got the boat all ready to go. Double-checking everything, passing our safety inspection and team registration, we feel prepared for tomorrow. The forecast is for it to start out light - 8-10 knots or so - then build over the course of the day. Will we choose the beach, where there is more breeze, or the rhumb line, a more direct route? I guess we'll have to wait and see, but I'm thinking that we'll follow the path of race favorites Team Ruff Rider, or perhaps zee out of town hot shots on zee French boat, Cirrus R.

On SPI!

After 7 hours of driving (thanks, Austin traffic!), 50 work emails (serious thanks to Stef for driving), and only one Monster, a beach condo has never looked so inviting at 2 AM. We made it! With the boat, too!
