The two blips in this photo are Free Radical and Program, Further inshore is Legacy. (Program and Legacy are in the DH division). They worked their way up on us via the inshore route. We've got everyone on the low side and are putting the accelerator down. Glassy conditions are less than optimal. More soon. 1622 hrs CDT 7-20-09 ____________________________________ Sent via BlackBerry from AT&T Wireless

Manitou Passage- 5kts on 7 kts of WS HDG 39 Degrees. The fleet has closed the gap a bit on us. Had the DH- Legacy in shore of us for part of the am. Breeze is getting light. Working to maintain Boat speed. It's looking like a Tuesday finish unless the breeze picks up. ____________________________________ Sent via BlackBerry from AT&T Wireless

Sunrise at Pt. Betsie (Photo credit L. Sandoval/ Scott Seifert trims in the approach to Pt. Betsie) Team Karma spent a great evening and night off the coast of Michigan. A Spectacular sunset led the way to a starry night where optimal boat speed was the objective. With many faster boats in eyeshot of our position, the team remains focused on the completion of "leg 1" of the race. At the writing of this brief- the early morning watch is enjoying the start of a great sunrise and bidding farewell to the crescent moon. Until later.... ____________________________________ Sent via BlackBerry from AT&T Wireless

Big Sable in site. Crossing tacks with the lead two 40.7s, SeaLark , and a 395 in our plan to clear Big Sable point. Offshore of us we have a couple of multis. Nice afternoon heat- time to peel off some layers. ____________________________________ Sent via BlackBerry from AT&T Wireless

Sunny MI Coast- We have Raven a beam of us and have had her as such for much of today. M32,Farr 40's all around. Sunny afternoon helps keep the chill off from last night. Spent much of last night with Split Decision in shore of us. Great wind to which we were able to maintain good boat speed. When the lights came on this am- We noted her to have fallen back significantly. Visible- but a speck in the horizon. Crew is in good spirits compliments of the Eggs & Sausage Breakfast from Chez Marty. Good Boat speed now- have to go. ____________________________________ Sent via BlackBerry from AT&T Wireless
