We're down to the wire!

We've been on the dock at StFrancis Yacht Club for two days now. I slept two nights ago on a mattress that was way too thin. The spare tiller handle and the spare udder dug into my back prompting me to emphatically call for another layer of mattress. Last nights sleep was much better with the extra pad.

Other boats have started ariving and are looking ready to go. We ate a light breakfast this morning in anticipation of possible seasickness but it still looking very calm with 6-8 knot winds outside the Golden gate.

Yesterday we spent a couple of hours with Richmond Yacht Clubs Team109. Team109 consists of Green Buffalo, Gavilan, and us Plus-Sixteen. The weather discussion really helped to reenforce our conclusions for route planning. We now have our route set and unless something really significant comes up that's what were sticking to. I have the waypoints and route all tranfered into the gps and got the gps set up the way we want to use it.

Check out the pacific cup website at http://pacificcup.org to find the tracking for the race. The whole fleet has transponders on the transoms. The more hits the site gets the better sponsorship we can continue to get for the race. So check it out.

We're getting into our gear as I write this, but have to go pee once again.....nerves. That all goes away when the starting gun goes off

Wish us well!

Cheers!!!
