Race day 4 - a morning progress report

The weather is beautiful all across the east, except at our current location in Chippewa Falls Michigan and our destination in Batavia Ohio, which have some low clouds caused by lifting ground fog which should dissipate in an hour or so. In the meantime, all the teams that are here are waiting for VFR conditions to depart. We knew it would be like this, so we got up relatively late (7am) and all met for a lovely breakfast together before driving back to the airport. We know there are teams still behind us in Ashland Wisconsin waiting to get in, and other teams ahead of us at Benton Michigan. There are even a few teams who have already made it to the terminus! We have until 5pm today to get there ourselves, so hopefully the weather will lift in time to make it.
