Light air...

Light air for light air, might as well get comfortable. It's going to be a while...

Light air - BUT air... getting closer to the finish in the early hours of the morning

I think that this was the evening before we finished. During a short super light wind moment in-between wind black holes...We had the spinnaker ready to launch from the companionway hatch as we were switching back and forth between the #1 and the spinnaker depending on the direction and force of the wind. When it was feally really too light, the spinnaker could not be full and we put the #1 up.

Focused until the end, Elise's fearless Captain.

Discovering Catalina island, around 7AM morning of the Finish

Falling asleep
Twice we had no wind...twice trying to squeeze out the maximum out of thin air...literally...I was tired by then, and very bored under these conditions so not my most effective light air sailing technique. Nathan was much more focused than I was at that time. Not my '3-bridge-fiasco' thing.



Waterproof camera, cockpit knife and liferaft...


Dreary weather - the entire time...
