Morning report

Just passed the northern end of Block Island. Wind got light before going through Plum Gut so we decided to switch to the light spi. Mike gets an award for raising it upside down! Out here big swells and a fabulous morning light.

Spi is up!

Wind changed from east at the start to NE and now S -> up with Spi!

Baking

In the sun... Good start but not too much wind and therefore slow right now

Before the start

Vineyard Race 2011

Starts on Friday 09/02 noon and Gringo is at the start!
Follow us live here: http://kws.kattack.com/kattacklive/Offshore.aspx?FeedID=527 and check for updates on this blog. Weather forecast is calling for Easterlies on Friday switching to W/SW on Saturday. The trick will be to figure out the tides (go through the Race or not?) and keep the speed up in low winds.
