Pyewacket slows down in Transpac

Pyewacket gave back everything it gained yesterday, slowing enough to put talks of a record to bed.

With boat owner Roy Disney waiting for its arrival, Pyewacket still has an almost insurmountable 109-nautical mile lead over Doug Baker's Magnitude 80.

So Pyewacket is on pace to get the Barn Door but not the record. Pyewacket is 875 miles out of Hawaii and would have to reach Diamond Head by 2:04 a.m. tomorrow to reclaim the record.
