It appears that contrary to one of the professional weather forecasts obtained by many participants at the start of the race, including us, the wind is better offshore. At least, it seems that once around Cedros Island, boats on the outside are making gains on boats to the inside.
Hula Girl, appears to be averaging +1 knot of boatspeed on Horizon for the last couple of hours… That’s good! Similarly, Sarasvati appears to be in a band of good pressure, moving along at 8 knots and beginning to compress on the fleet.
