How often in two weeks do you really think singlehanders crossing the Atlantic change their underwear, anyway?

Not Transat related but interesting - he's gearing up for a run in the Vendee Globe next fall.

I worked on the boat yesterday and am going down again afterwork to volunteer. She's awesome! I'll ask Bruce about the underwear...

Hey Justin,

Tell Bruce that J.B. Manley from Tulsa says "hello" and that I'm STILL sorry about not getting any sponsorship dollars. 8-)

After a while anything will grow on you, but for me it would initially be every time the wind hits 60 knots and the third wave is looking down at you from five stories up with a big stupid grin, like it's all one big Disney Animated Full Length Feature.....

Very exciting battle taking place between the leaders in the Open 60 and Open 50 classes. The Open 50 class is being led by the two American entries, with Kip Stone currently in the lead. Wish I could be in Boston for the finish!
