For SHTP Tracker Junkies:
JOUJOU and RIFF RIDER currently in a dead heat for overall handicap lead. RR owes JJ 12 hours 21 minutes for the course of 2120 miles. RR about .5 knots faster, so he gains about 12 miles/day...
In 12 hours, 21 minutes, at 7 knots, JJ can sail about 86 miles, a bit less if running downwind at angles.
With about 11 days to go, RR needs to gain about 8 miles/day over JJ to win.
Wind looks solid for the next 4-5 days, and likely beyond.
One note on the tracker: the reported speed is the average speed between displayed reports. IE, if the difference in reporting time is 4 hours, then the SOG displayed is calculated on distance run divided by 4 hours.
The boats are all displaying different reporting times and intervals, so interpolation is needed to figure out who's ahead of whom.
