Pac Cup Prep of the Day, Forecast for Farallones Race

The forecast for tomorrow is beginning to look positive.  This is the general one for the ocean around the Farallones:
Sat...NW winds 10 to 20 kt. Wind waves 2 to 4 ft. NW swell 4 to 6 ft at 6 seconds and S 1 to 3 ft at 14 seconds. Patchy fog
and pinpoint forecasts for the areas we will pass through look like 15-18 for the most part with similar swells to the above.   Not too bad!

I stopped by the boat for maybe 20 minutes at lunch.  The canvas guy had finished installing the fasteners for the aft cabin lee cloth (though we still have some drilling through the fiberglass to do to get it "done") so I re stowed the emergency sails and the heavier spinnaker that hopefully we will not need tomorrow.  We need to find a home for the emergency rudder but I think it is going to live slid under the above, if not even under the lee cloth and cushion as well.  I think it will be cozy down there.  We have a few things left to finalize prior to the inspection so we will have quite a busy weekend on the 15-16.  This weekend is pretty much shot between the race tomorrow (which is, itself, good prep) and mother's day brunch and some other festivities on Sunday. 

I'll try to get on Sunday with a race report!
