We got an early start from the marina to the race course yesterday and were up in the city very early. Since we had time to kill we tied up to the St Francis guest dock and visited with the other Pac Cup boats that were there, including our friend Edda's boyfriend's boat. Edda was supposed to go with him in the double handed division but after a few races in it (it is a Mini Trans At, I forget the length, maybe 25 feet; the operative word is MINI) she decided to take a 747. Anyway, we had a great start but where we are now there is not much wind as the trough has moved farther west than normal. We hope to be out into some wind by Thursday. Everyone is well. One person had some seasickness but seems much better so far this morning.
Love from Matt and Jennifer

Sailing would be perfect if it weren't for the damn wind !
