Webb Chiles did a few days of local sailing down in New Zealand's Bay of Islands. He described the winds as "spotty," but as you can see the scenery was beautiful. You can read his log here.
And the water tribe's Blackbeard Challenge is under way on the sounds of North Carolina. I believe that is Dawn Patrol with friends Paul and Alan aboard in the photo above. They have a reef or even maybe two reefs tucked in. Weather has been rough. I found this report from Dawn:
Some tribes are on the move early this morning. It's still dark out, and has been raining most of the night. SOS and DWSB came into CP1 at 1:15 am and still camped. All others took shelter from the wind a little earlier last night, Marine weather for Pamlico Sound:
