Too busy to entertain the BS Nation

Guess they're busy racing again and don't have much time to write to us. Or maybe they're just feasting on Filet Mignon and can't be bothered. Anyway, with no tracking information until noon tomorrow when the 0600 report gets posted there's really not much to print here.

NOAA's forecast this morning:

Their feedback when asked if they expected this weather system to help the BS cause:
It has helped us today-however, I think it will help all the leaders as well. Hopefully, we will benefit more. Tomorrow we find out!

Since it is heading to Hawaii it may be a bit ugly fri-sat. We hoped to get more help from it if we were a 150-200 mile ahead of our current position. . . with any luck we will stay in front of the vacuum created in its wake. I will do weather in a few minutes and have a better feel for the week ahead of us. Like most of this race lots of challenges if you navi-guess wrong!
