It's a rock and roll start!

The last 28 hours we've had good winds and roily seas. Winds are consistently 18-22 from the east which is providing good sailing.

The seas are 5-7 foot swells on the beam. The boat looks and feels like a rubber duck in a bathtub. Back and forth, up and down, side to side. Lots of sea spray. Most of the crew is handling it well, only Dawn has hurled. Lol. These conditions appear to persist for the next 48 hours.

We are making good time averaging 6.5 knots. We'll be in Bermuda in no time!

    I was wondering why some in the fleet were bearing a little to NNW

    Checking your progress and posts twice a day. Hope the seas and Dawn's stomach have calmed.

    Great to hear your voice! I've been checking a couple of times a day, once you were showing 19.5! We hope Dawn's tummy settles and we sent lots of love.
