7/10/22 update

Good afternoon everyone,

What to say about yesterday? Let's see, we worked our way through the sail inventory - we went all night with the Code 0, changed to the A2 at 0800, then to the A3 in the early afternoon, followed by the A4 at 0330 last night. We've been running with the A4 since. All smooth changes even in the night with very tired crew. On the wild life side, we haven't seen much lately, not even the ever present flying fish we've seen on previous races. We were contacted via email by the USCG SAR folks asking us o see if we could reach SV Perplexity on our VHF. Unfortunately, while we were probably within hailing distance early in the day, our courses had diverged since and we could no longer raise them. Glad to read in this mornings race news that there is no serious trouble. Looks like Pyewacket will blast by us sometime today but probably too far away for us to see them. We transferred the contents of our dry ice cooler to the refrigerator today and had the still cold, but a bit soft serve, ice cream after lunch. A nice treat on a warm day. That's it for today. Aloha, Tracy & crew.
