Nick and Ron and I spent hours yesterday going over the rhumb line, the Gulf Stream and the Eddies spinning off of it. The Bermuda 1-2 is a race of Gulf Stream tactics! This year’s course looks like a bit of a slalom run to catch all the “fast” sides of the eddies and the main body of the stream! Of course we’ll continue to monitor the stream and see how much it deviates from the anticipations. Then we’ll retool the plan right up to the day the race starts. I love these races with obstacle courses!
