Turnagain went off the grid for a while. At 1720 the Race Tracker indicated they were off Aberdeen at the back of the pack (all the other boats had been updated more recently), but then nothing further was updated until almost midnight. I finally picked them up on AIS as they approached Cape Flattery, then the Race Tracker updated, showing them approaching the cape shortly after midnight.
Here is what the Race Tracker shows, as of 0200 (note: the super fast boats have already finished the race in record time apparently):
Currently (based on AIS date from Marine Traffic), Turnagain appears to be racing down the Juan de Fuca straight at 11.1kts! They are ahead of Velocity, Ion and Avalon, and not far behind Kinetic. Turnagain is the pink boat just above the number 112. The boats ahead of Turnagain appear to be travelling slower (7kts), so perhaps Turnagain will catch up and then they'll all just drift towards Race Rocks.

Looking forward to seeing how it all shakes down. I wish all the boats had AIS, or that more boats were updated on the official Race Tracker :)
