Saturday Afternoon

We are still trucking along under the same spinnaker and things are pretty good here on Orizaba. We had a little spell of light wind, but it's now back up to 18-20kts. It was a cloudy and dark, but warm night. The sun has been out all day and it's getting pretty hot on board now.

Our morning roll call showed us in 2nd place in class still, but making big gains on the first boat and with the fleet overall. The boat right behind us might be positioned to take advantage of more breeze later, so we are worried about them but overall pretty satisfied with our position.

We're eating well and having a good time. Thanks to all who made it possible for us to be out here. Love to the families.
