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

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

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.
