Half Way Update...

After a 350nm run yesterday we passed the half-way point in Pacific Cup -- we are also approximately 1000nm from the nearest land! The breeze picked up considerably last night and we had an extremely fast night with speeds averaging near 20 knots, and peak speads near 22 knots.

We were all tired this morning and had some repair work to do -- torn line covers, winch drums to refinish, etc. When things got windier we peeled to the A4 runner, then back to the A2C Heavy which we are running right now. Food has been great, although we haven't been getting much sleep. At our current rate we should arrive in Hawaii sometime on Friday...
