Continuing to inch Spirit closer to home, using the available wind as best we can and somehow staying competitive. Discipline and morale remain high, despite the searing heat and repetitiveness of our recent days.

All watches are collaborating on creating a new orientation manual for oncoming crew.

Our current trainees have more experience sailing Spirit offshore than any past crew and their combined perspectives and insights are invaluable.

They have become the perfect team for this race.
