Day 5 - The slows - Bugs

The last thing you want in an ocean race is a beautiful, calm day with a
glassy sea. So that's what we have. We know that as we sit around trying to
nurse another tenth of a knot out of the sails, to the south of us boats are
speeding along to Hawaii. But the weather can change again, and reverse
fortunes.

Basically everything is fine aboard. The food is awesome -- fresh peaches at
breakfast today, with another of Robin Hubbard's creations now defrosting
for dinner. Everyone's mood is good. I'd say we are just a bit bored waiting
for the wind to reappear.

Back on watch soon.

Bugs
