I have spoken with the commander and they are near the sea buoy....no rig problems or otherwise, they were all in the cockpit and enjoying the day. Light winds this close to shore. 2-3 foot seas close in.
They decided to bail out of the race due to offshore conditions and a troubling problem. A forward hatch was leaking rather badly and everything below was wet. According to the commander, every wave washing over the bow was letting in about 5 gallons of seawater. They were all wet and pretty miserable.
I am currently waiting for his call and will help them get tied up and assist with logistics as much as possible.
I'll report back later today. |
