As recorded by her gallant Captain and crew.
Up the minute news and information on the Racing Yacht Coyote and her continuing journeys!
Last blog entry…. Guessed wrong again, Spinnaker (1.5oz) went up at noon today, and we have had a very lumpy, rolling, pitching, crazy ride in the confused seas. Wind is 20 knots true, would be a lovely sail if not for the waves coming from every direction. By 1900 (7pm) true winds down to 18, so it looks like we will leave the kite up all night. Correction, spinnaker taken down at 2000 (8pm) and replaced by the 135% jib, we are broad reaching for the Light Ship Buoy 90 miles away. No wonder the waves are so crazy, the winds last night peaked at 30 knots true, which will tend to stir things up, the #3 with double reefed main was perfect for the close reach we were on all night 2,253 miles traveled on the return trip so far. Golden Gate is now just 60 miles away!! We are home, today is the day. Coyote
