Hi,
I just checked to see how the race was going for Deja Vu. At 9:00AM, Steve
Thorne is just shy of the finish by 1.7NM. Given delays in reporting data, he
has likely finished. Congratulations!
Reading the news updates from the race website is interesting. "Several of the
boats that have finished— and many still on the course— have used their engines
for propulsion. Calculating the adjusted corrected times of all the boats will
be complex.”
Recall last year Steve gave us an update on Deja Vu’s experiences in the Regata
Al Sol, the race from Pensacola to Isla Mujeras. In short, he shared his
experience with the steering failure due to not easily seen idler plate
corrosion.
After reading about Steve’s report, I went and thoroughly checked my steering
idler. Mine was steering failure in waiting… I wrote about it on the Johanna
Rose blog:

Thanks to everyone for these after reports.
