Race Day 2

This is what happens when women are left unsupervised at the airport all day with marginal cell service and sporadic internet service. This artistic rendition is called "Teva Moment." You are probably wondering who the outlier is - the one with green Tevas instead blue. Yes, it is Julia. And look. She is not even standing with her feet side-by-side like everyone else.

Obviously, we were pretty bored today. The airplane was ready, and we were more than ready. But, our weather briefer thought our chances for better wind would be tomorrow morning. It is a high risk game at this point. We are only 1/2 way and the worst weather is still ahead of us. Our big position advantage has disappeared. 90% of the teams went on, but if our gamble is right, we will make better time tomorrow. And, IF we can complete the entire race and do so with a better time, it will have been a good decision. Otherwise....we'll try again another year.

Our decision to stay was finally made about 2:30, so we came back to the Acorn Inn along with two other teams. We will meet in the lobby at 5:45 am to be ready for a 6:30 take-off. We really, really, REALLY hope to be able to get in the air.
