Expecting French wine, no doubt, given the name
The tracker hasn't updated for me since 4 or 5 this morning. Anybody else seeing this? I've refreshed the page, didn't help.
Edit: Never mind, it's good now. Maybe I embarrassed it by complaining.
I'll put my "tracker" lapel button back on.
wait 45 seconds after opening the tracker .. it will refresh
Big hats off to the guys who stuck it out! It was a tough call to bail out but Tortugas prospects weren't looking good to finish on time with the light wind. here are some pix and videos of my drift fest

Brian Boschma called the fleet @ 8pm tonight from the top of some mountain. Some very high mountain. He had the antenna he used to contact Rob Macfarlane four years ago. At that time Rob was participating in the 2011 Long Pac and Brian was able to communicate with him on Tiger Beetle 200 miles offshore. Tonight only David on Temerity responded to Brian's attempt to communicate. There have been issues with LongPacers' vhf reception in this race. Participants have noted that they have been unable to communicate even with each other.
David said that he expects to finish tomorrow morning at approximately 3am. His plan is to sail past the finish @ the Golden Gate Yacht Club and continue on to his slip in Alameda. He asked how many boats were still on the course. Brian told him that there are still five boats on the course. David didn't ask where they were. He didn't ask if they were ahead of him. David doesn't realize that, unless he crashes into a tanker he will win the Long Pac. I hope he doesn't crash into a tanker. This is so much fun. I'm going to look up Temerity's AIS position.
