Wednesday July 30, 2008 - PM Update

7/30/08 - 8:30 PM
Latitude: 25.51 min (25.85)
Longitude: -151.52 min (-151.8667)
DTF: 471
SOG: 3.9
Course:230


The winds have been light today but Ruben still got in 37nm, which is a total of 77 miles in a 24 hours period. Not bad for a cute little boat, in the middle of the ocean, with a broken arm!

Ruben's a little tired, still sunburned and still looking forward to getting to Hanalei.

Keep him in your thoughts and prayers!


Note from the Home Crew:

A few of you "non-sailor" folks have asked us what the DTF and SOG stand for in the position reports. So, for those of you that don't know...

DTF = Distance to Finish
The number of miles Ruben & Sparky have remaining to get to Hanalei

SOG - Speed Over Ground
The speed Ruben & Sparky are traveling, reported in knots. (1 knot = 1.151 Miles Per Hour)
