But I am sorry to report that at 1625PDT today I was notified that Narrow Escape has withdrawn from the Transpacific Ocean Race.
The most recent news describes the Autohelm as being completely unable to keep up with required tiller response in the now windy and perfect conditions under spinnaker.
The course ahead also looks perfect and they could not imagine hand steering 24 hours a day for the next 8 plus days.
They report making good progress back towards the mainland.
More information will follow as I get it.
