    Default LongPac Update 10:00 a.m. 7/7/11

    Here is the latest information I have as of 10:30am today.

    Arcadia (transponder not working):
    37. 57
    123.21
    COG 270
    Speed 2.1

    Bulk of the fleet up at Drakes Bay, sitting in 3-4 kts of breeze.

    Elise is having autopilot problems.

    Retired from the race: Humdinger, Culebra, Nancy, Rosalita, Tiger Beetle, Xpression

    Synopsis: Right now that are two completely different weather patterns going on in the race. 2/3 of the fleet are having little or no wind. The other 1/3 is having too much wind and four of the five boats in this outer wind have now retired. All skippers report in good health. More to come.

    Many thanks Matt for the update. Any details of wind and sea state for the boat(s) in the outer wind zone?

    Good wind predictions at Sail Flow: http://www.sailflow.com/windandwhere...0&timeoffset=1

    West of 124 degrees, looks like NW 22-26, increasing 25-30 tonight.

    Alchera has dropped out, will spend the night at Drakes Bay. Will get more of an update this evening on the remaining boats after check-in.

    A huge thanks to Matt for keeping the website up to date.

    You can also see 'normal' NOAA GRIB files on my blog here .

    Knowing where they are is very cool...

    Thanks for the great coverage and also for the updates on FB!
