Holy cow! It looks like he's almost there...

According to Windy.com, it looks like almost perfect sailing conditions...

Looks like he made it to the first checkpoint. The cutoff time 1700 so he should be good to start the next leg of the race.

Bravo Mr. X

One of Mr. X's short videos, etc., are below. The actual race starts tomorrow at noon. I hope he gets some favorable wind...

There is another brief video that I can't seem to get to post correctly. If you want to see it, append "https://" and "youtu.be/j-7FPEn-Vkw"

Mr. X, have a safe trip.  We need to chase halibuts together again.

Mr X was mentioned in the daily writeup that you can see here:

The relevant paragraph quoted below:

"While details of his trip and background remain shrouded in an eponymous mystery, Team Mr X had a similar experience in the trail pack’s other Tandem Island (Jo’s was orange, his was the red one). He was spotted in the middle of the straits in good spirits, helmet on his head, sailing, pedaling, in 5-foot seas, and consumed by whatever was on his phone at the time. Whether he was navigating or Netflixing, we’ll never know. He’s Mr X; an enigma wrapped in a riddle, inside of a drysuit. He hit the docks, rang the bell, then asked how to get a fishing license. His Tandem Island has a holder for a fishing pole, complete with downriggers. His plan is to Fish to Alaska “Rockfish, maybe halibut, maybe salmon. Sashimi.”

Way to go Mr X!!

"...an enigma wrapped in a riddle, inside of a drysuit..."

That pretty much sums it up!

He hit the docks, rang the bell, then asked how to get a fishing license. His Tandem Island has a holder for a fishing pole, complete with downriggers. His plan is to Fish to Alaska “Rockfish, maybe halibut, maybe salmon. Sashimi.”

Legend.

Good luck and have fun, Mr X!
