Thanks Dennis. Impromptu does like light air and we worked hard to keep the boat moving consistently. Fortunately it also does pretty well in heavy air. The return home had much heavier weather and we were able to keep the boat moving upwind in over 30 knots through a rough Gulfstream passage with a storm trysail and heavily reefed jib. Back at the dock at 6:20 this morning and happy to be home! Hope that you guys also had a good ride home.

Kinda depressing that it took us almost three days to get out of the Bay… Also, we were one of several boats (mostly Class 1) that paid for and attending a weather briefing by Jennifer Clark. The Office was the only boat in the briefing that following the weather routing. We actually did make up some time once we were out of the Chesapeake, but by then, it was a bit late.

He's about 70 miles out and leads the next boats by about 12 miles. Hard to tell but he looks pretty good for corrected time also. http://www.bermudaoceanrace.com/race-overview/2014tracker Joel needs some breeze to catch up. Dennis C.
