Sea Date June, 30, 2009
Day 2 at sea
Position at 0600 Lat. 32'11N Long. 119'39W
Wind speed 10k
Sea hight 5 foot swell

Well yesterday was the start. It was off of Point Fermion at 1300. There was about 17 boats on the line, it was an uneventful start. It was more in our favor to take the start on starboard tack right on the committee boat, and that is just what we did. with in the first hour of the race we did, i think, 4 head sail changes, not that we have 4 head sails on board. anyways the wind would get up to 17knots then down to 8. Once we got closer to Catalina it was a consistent 10k. We sailed through the night with the number 2 up, as it still is now.
Bad news is something happened to the computer that runs the weather program, and well Chase tells me that it is unlikely to work at all. Something to do with the flash drive not working or the USB port is broken. And we cant run the program on the computer that im on now because this computer is not set up for it. Whatever, this is why i am not a big fan of computers. The good news is that we are still able to sail mail and we can receive weather files that way. so we are not totally out of luck. Chase is still going to try to work on it.
Other then that, my mom made some really good roast beef sandwiches yesterday for lunch, it was good. For dinner we all just snacked on cup a soup. Last night Mike and i were on watch and he says to me i think there is something swimming next to the boat. sure enough a school of dolphins were cruising around with us. it was pretty neat.
That is all for now, LA

Mike would like to add that he caught his first fish, it's about 1 1/2 inches long, he is currently drying it on deck for lunch.
