Columbine Update

Ok, so with the contest going, I don't think I should give our position tonight. Instead, let me just say that today we have been smokin'. We have been above 5kts since early last night, and often over 6kts. Not bad for upwind work on an overloaded boat! If you want to revise your entry, feel free. Only the last one counts. Our next post will be from the equator.

Today has also been fantastic onboard, although the wind has made hanging out in the cockpit very wet. We got all spruced up for our equator crossing celebration - washing our hair, shaving, etc. We also spent awhile in the cockpit practicing some songs for our upcoming concert. More on that later.

By the way, I think Rick, the WeatherGuy, already has the closest estimate. But he doesn't count since he has inside information and computer programs to track us. His estimate of our crossing was made on Wednesday, and looks like it will be accurate within about an hour or so.
