Some good info here on the spread sheet as well. Averaging over 50 MPH now which is amazing since they had to stop and change out a prop. Not an easy thing to do in the Atlantic. They can run faster if they want but I expect that they are doing the right thing by not working the equipment too hard so it will last. They are on track to beat Buzzi's time by almost 2 1/2 hrs. Hopefully the full moon tonight will help them keep running at speed to bring this home.

Have they even swapped seats 1x??

I was thinking the same thing. I've not seen them switch seats at all, but I've only checked on them a few times throughout the day.

Co-Pilot either drew the short straw or has the better night time vision!
