FAMILY CIRCUS is off to the races! We've had our first 24 hour run and clocked in at 198.13 miles- which is a great distance, especially since we were slowing the boat down to make it a bit more comfortable. Its still plenty bumpy and windy out here but all is well. We should have two more days of this rodeo and then the wind should abate, and hopefully the seas will space out a bit. All in all. we're happy with our progress so far and the boat and crew are doing great. CHRIS

[status]Day 3. We are feeling very lucky for such a good weather window. Thanks Predict Wind and Gulf Harbour Radio for the forecasts. It's still looking like favourable winds all the way. We've been motor sailing since 12pm. Night watch last night felt like more of a pleasure than a chore as it was so starry. Having a moon is pretty special as well. All well onboard.[END]
