As recorded by her gallant Captain and crew.
Up the minute news and information on the Racing Yacht Coyote and her continuing journeys!
Okay, we are nearly ready to go! Loading the boat with food, water and supplies today, a last minute details…..
Everyone is ready to go, just waiting for our start day…..
Looks like a slow start for us, winds are dropping close to shore 5-10 knots (within 50 miles of San Francisco) then increasing to 35+ knots (Gale) from 50-250 miles…..hopefuflly we can get to the wind fast…..
Few quick items, before tomorrow’s start.
1. I discovered a WebCam at St Francis YC, where we will start at 12:15 tomorrow, Tuesday morning, you may be able to see our start (sail number 28776). http://207.150.197.186/
2. They have added a second method of tracking the fleet, via transponders we have on board. They report hourly (but are delayed by 4 so racers cannot use the info against each other) during the race. The link can be found at the Pacific Cup Website http://www.pacificcup.org/follow or or http://www.ionearth.com/2010/pacific-cup/
3. WHe replying to email messages from Coyote, please remove all of our text message - and logos etc. before sending.
