Continuing to maintain speed and make great progress. I imagine the sun will soon be going down out there.

Just checked the live feed. The boys are having dinner as they cruise along. LOL Can see that the sun is getting pretty low. Be safe guys.

Was there much in the way of retrofitting this boat once they took the keys to the ignition??

This 426 sat for a LONG time in the classifieds with no real interest and here it is on course to dramatically break the same record the guys made a year ago in another state of the art boat!

It is what Peter and everyone involved was expecting in performance/distance when they debuted this boat as a concept for the armed forces( according to the threads).... any way tough decisions ahead - after claiming the record again, the guys could run back to the mainland and make it to LOTO for a speed run or invade Cuba.

Anyways wish them all the best in the last few hours of running

They made a lot of adjustments to the boat to prepare for this run. You will have to ask Tyson about those details.

Just curious, can anyone hear them? I don't think there is sound, but thought I'd ask. I would love to be able to listen in on their conversations throughout the day and as they are approaching Bermuda.

Let's hope it's not a show-stopper.

Looks like they just pulled out the last spare prop
