Getting ready for the ZYC Challenge

The rule is simple: one person per mast.

 

Red Sky and Elise are getting ready for the big day.

What a difference a day makes!


The big decision of sailors...which headsail??


Recharging Elise's batteries.








Setting up the kite to be faster when hoisting.


Competitor number 1


Brian waking up


Looking to see if he can give some food to Serge


Brian drinking coffee and Nat wondering how to untie a bunch of knots


Drying things out after the previous rainy day.



Brian: 'so I have this whole auto pilot system remote controlled from the deck of Red Sky and if I see that you are gaining on me, I will randomly adjust the heading'


Hi, is that Pizza Express? Could you deliver a couple of cheese pizza around noon at 37 deg 15' and 124'' of latitude North and 122 deg 12' and 124'' of longitude west?'


Hey I figured out how to untie the knot. Actually, it's a shackle so it's not a knot at all, you just unscrew that little pin.


/ok,  so #3 it is.








You go back in #2.
