6/29 0900 Predicted standings

Hi Lucie, I've added ETA's in hours for the 24hr predictions. Let me know if that is what you wanted.

Idefix still in the lead and seems to still be in pressure. Solar Wind also keeping its average up.

Looks like the RC has another 4-5 days of kicking back in Hanalei Bay.

Dinner Index

While we all appreciate Dan's careful analysis of finish times adjusted for zip code and shoe size, I have used my Cray supercomputer abacus to calculate the more important Dinner Index.

I'm happy to report that if all boats keep up their reported pace** they will arrive in time for the awards dinner. Blue Moon might make it in time for dessert if he finds that turbo mode. The dinner is in ten days.

Boat name and whole days to finish:

Bandicoot . . . . . 8
Blue Moon. . . . . 10
Culebra . . . . . . .6
Dream Chaser. . .8
Harrier . . . . . . . 6

** Hmm, based on Travieso's subsequent post, it appears some of the reported speeds were a bit optimistic.

No huge changes since last report. Taz looks to be picking up some speed, and Dream Chaser dropped a couple of spots.

WW went stealth for this report, so can't count him in this report.

Hecla is just a bit over 2 days out.

George's note

Good to hear his enthusiasm back in the note. As I read it I could hear him speaking. You know exactly how it would sound coming out of his mouth. Go Taz!

Not sure he knew what to do with the picture of the 'naked lady' :)

Cheers
 
6/30 2100 Predicted standings

Idefix still holding on to the lead, but bit of reshuffling in the top as the wind fills in and boats settle on hull speeds. It will be interesting what the 0900 reports looks like, but as the wind settles I wouldn't expect too much movement in the standings.

Things are pretty close. Saraband making a comeback for Corrected honors, only 3 hrs behind Idefix. Talk about two completely different boats duking it out.

The fight for third corrected is just as close with Max going against 'the General'.

Hecla is schedule to finish tomorrow in the early afternoon.

Everybody is now at, or past the midway point. Still a bit of racing to be done.

Speeds are up all along the fleet.

7/1 2100 Predicted standings

Hecla has put a couple of consecutive days of 200+ miles. She is due to arrive today.

Saraband getting that much closer to the big prize. She is less than an hour from getting corrected honors and Idefix is already pushing pretty hard with a 24hr average of 7.4 knots! But Saraband is pushing a cool 6.3, who is the WetSnail now??

Harrier and SolarWind traded places, the General now with a 4 hr lead for third place overall.

CHANGE IN THE LEADER BOARD. Will see if Saraband break in the boom becomes an impediment or if he is able to affect a prompt repair.

Saraband with a 5 minute lead in corrected. Are you kidding me? After 1800 nm of racing... Go skippers, no time to rest now...

Max got a 1/2 hour back on the general, now 3.6 hours behind. Still some racecourse left for another close battle.

No update from WW.

On a lighter note from blackened eyes and broken booms, last night I spoke via ham w/ Herbie on the Half Way Barge (AKA Ocean Station November.)

He wanted the Fleet to know how much he enjoyed meeting everyone as they rafted up for their gratis 3 hours when passing halfway.

If you haven't experienced Herbie's hot showers, berry smoothies, garlic fries, and Brooklyn sliders, all the more reason to do the '12 Race.

Herbie is now replenishing for the Pac Cup and Vic Maui racers which will be coming thru shortly. Then he'll take his barge to position 37N x 140W for the fleet returning to the Mainland.

PS, Herbie said he had some great pics of AJ on the jet ski.

Comment on Finish Times

Travieso:

"Final finish times will not be posted until all competitors have finished. The thought is that it might give the folks racing an unfair advantage. I'm not sure I follow, but I'm just the messenger."


More to keep the guys on the course motivated (i.e. 'I might as well take it easy - I can't beat xyz anyway').

Idefix finished Saturday during Tree time and Ronnie finished about an hour ago. Ronnie (the Marine) finished on Independence Day under masthead kite on a stunning day in Hanalei Bay. It doesn't get any better than that!"

I hope that Travieso continues to "do the math" for us lurkers, as I'm sure the rest of the racers on the course are doing the same thing.
