TriBabyTri is headed out after we did some makeshift blacksmithing on his broken mast support. The wind is blowing cool and strong at CP1.
CP1 is officially closed until next year. Have a great rest of the challenge!

Well it has been a busy first day and a half for ZTH And MightyCondor. Ripped the spinnaker. Fixed a stern plug leak and almost sank! Not going exactly to plan! But the event is an adventure.

From some followers of the tribe watching from aboard their trimaran near Chokoloskee
"I got a few snaps of those passing by on my big camera but these are photos of the screen. Sorry about that. I'll share a link to photos once we're home in a few weeks. More to come. Not in order. HalfBaked and E-Reader going by now in the Holopuni."
