Oregon Offshore - Where is the wind?

After an excellent start the the race with 12-20kts from the north west, we made great time up the course. Then...... We sailed into a bit of a hole and drifted for many hours. The crew searched the boat high and low for bad luck items (upside down cans, and Bananas). We ate the remaining banana!!! In the 5 hours after that feast, we have had 1-2kts from the east veering to 1-3kts NorthWest.

The weather people are telling us the NW winds should be building to 8-10kts as the day goes on.

As documented in the photo, the Turnagain fishing derby has been in full swing with no bites recorded yet. More updates shortly.
