Bravo reports 3 ft seas, squalls and patchy sun - and not as much wind as the boats further south.  Harrier has the 18-20 knots that Bravo is wishing he had.  Etosha says that the autopilot isn't getting along well with the spinnaker...otherwise no problems to report!
 
Reception is too faint on 4024 - we got this report on 8110, and plan to use 12359 as the next backup frequency if the 8k frequencies fade out.
