At daybreak, fast wet and wild. We found all the wind and the waves that Aeolius and Poseidon had for the Pegasus!
Doing all the navigation with MotionX. My iPhone 4 has great battery life, a fantastic screen, a much more accurate GPS sensor and is always on my pocket in it’s protective waterproof case.

Sailing in very little wind and making the best of it! We are migrating with the whales.
It’s been an amazing night. Daybreak is right here. Dense fog. Very close encounters: Whales. Large ones and then suddenly out of nowhere our much larger competitor “Limit” with over 12 crew.
