This Afternoon’s R2AK report from Wild Card

(filed 16:15) Finally got some real breeze today and we’re loving life. We’re south of Blunden Harbor sailing in 15 knots with a guy on the trap. Last night was mixed bag of conditions with with wind, no wind, lots of current and some fog in the morning. We sailed well upwind in the fog and were delighted to get out of JS.
Ed. Note: The Wild Cards may be out in front, but they’ll be hard pressed to stay there. The Olson 30, Melges 32 and F-28 chasing them are all considered “faster” boats. But so are a lot of boats far behind! In the last couple hours Sail Like A Girl and Lagopus have been slowly gaining ground, with the Melges seemingly a quarter knot faster. Ptarmigan has made big gains as well. -KH
