In a nutshell- one of the boats (Brasil 1) has been demasted. 

SO- they're at:
40 48.02S     
89 19.02E
HERE

Which puts them roughly 2700 miles away from where they want to end up, they have no mast left to speak of, they've just spent quite a bit of time pulling their sails out of the ocean and trying to lash down the three pieces of shattered mast.

And this is supposed to be fun??

It beats working in a soup kitchen or paying for a library to be open.

HEY!  I deliberately didn't post in that thread just so you wouldn't get cranky.

And the people all said sit down, sit down you're rockin' the boat.  Or the devil will drag you under, with a soul so heavy you'll never float....

we should have kept the quote pyramid up to rape Jessie in the face.

A clever man commits no minor blunders.

I bet having the last name of Blewett leads to some interesting childhood experiences.
