We had a good breeze leaving SF Bay today, winds were ~20 in the bay, and they dropped to 16 in the Bonita Channel. Later they continued to lighten, 5-6 knots at Duxbury Reef, currently 7 SW winds. Seas have been failrly flat all day. Lots of fog, at times hard to see anyone, and my glasses get covered in water until I cannot see, but for the last 5 hours, it has lifted some, and is now dry.
So far we have traveled 30 miles to our goal of 126.4, 184 miles to go before we turn around.
Coyote was the 3rd boad under the bridge today, and later gained the lead, until the super fast multi huls went past!
Most of the (rest) of the fleet is still in sight, working up the marin shore towards drakes bay, Coyote continues to work out towards our goal point, we are now several miles above the rest of the fleet.
Looking forward to BBQ Chicken tonight for dinner, and pudding for desert.
Signing off for now.
