To Friends and Family,
Hello from everyone on Barra. Everything is going great. We started the race yesterday with a moderate (12-16kt) south westerly breeze. After a couple of tacks to get out of Narraganset Bay we started on starboard tack, heading just low of a beat. Except for a brief tack in middle of the night, we've continued on starboard ever sense. Last night the sky was clear and the stars filled the sky until a bright moon arose. While the sky was nice the wind unfortunatley did come down quite a bit. This morning we were accompanied by a whale for about an hour. The wind is currently averaging around 8 kts and is still coming from around the southwest.
Position at 1345 EST: 39 degrees 12.6 N; 69 degrees 56.2 W
Cheers,
The crew of Barra
