Trans Pac winds pick up – few leads change

The 35 foot Relentless is still the overall leader as well as having a big lead in Div 6. She is 1231 miles from Oahu at L 135.43.

Charisma still leads Div 7 and is 1277 miles out and at L 135.47.

Div 4 is now leg by Bengal 7, 1388 miles out and yesterday’s leader Relentless  SC52 is now 25 miles behind Bengal.

Criminal Mischief must have had an interesting night.  It is now the clear frontrunner in Div 3 and is only 1305 miles from Diamond Head.  Its also in the lower latitudes where most of the other boats are eventually going to have to be.

Division 5 is where the race is  tight.  There are four boats in the lead and all within 10 miles of one another.  Allure, Passion, Horizon and Mighty Tongaroa.  Passion and Horizon are within a mile of each other.

All the Div 1 boats are far behind Alfa Romeo and Magnitude 80 and magnitude 80 is 120 miles behind Alfa Romeo…but Mag 80 is a little  lower and that may help her tonight.  Alfa Romeo is 1521 miles out at 130.45.

And lastly is Div 2 and there we have two boats, Alchemy and QEX both reporting Latitude 126.46 which makes them both 1742 miles from shore.

Some of the boats have blogs that can be found at Trans Pac’s site but several attempts at Alfa Romeo’s site…give us nothing but promo’s for the autos and nothing about the boat.
