Day 1: Amazing Race ... to Drake's Bay

Several of us were astonished, with the lift, that we went from the
start at StFYC to Drake's bay on a single tack. Amazing! Remarkable!
But really, we are heading to Hawaii, so we tacked over and settled for
heading to Mexico for a while.

This AIS is really a remarkable thing. We watched BLUE MIST and JUANITA
tag along mercifully behind us on the screen. It will be an interesting
topic of conversation as to how seeing all your competitors are doing
all the time might affect strategy.

We are still just nibbling at food. Nobody sick. Nobody cold, nobody
bored.

Phosphorescent seas, too. Speed is back up to 4 knots, so optimism is
on the rise.
