There has been little to report so far.

Start day Thursday was a bit slow and unCalifornialike.  The boats in Warrior's start hit the line on the wrong tack because the wind was coming from the wrong way.  Old Sailors don't like change!

Still, as Warrior nosed out among the carbon fibre and money and sailing celebrity, on the Transpac Website, it looked to be Chuggy's 7th best start.

And then it got weird.

Around 1700PDT Thursday I received a cryptic message from Chuggy about being at the West End (the last mark of the course) and packing the spinnaker.

Here is the picture attached.  I am trying to figure out what it means.  Obviously it doesn't mean they are getting the spinnaker ready to use.  They are only at the west end.  Anyone who can figure it out gets to pick a prize off of Chuggy's Desk.
