Have not discussed yet, but the first half of the race will be determined by where Expedition® tells us to enter the Gulf Stream, unless there's big weather. I hope this navigator isn't the kind who chases phantom eddies. Most of the time, south of the rhumb pays off.

My wife says when I'm dressed to ride, nobody would recognize me, because I look like an alien insect. So she doesn't object to the lycra.

Good luck! I'll be watching.
Just remember, stick in the air, all is fair. Stick in the water, well, you'll know you're f'ed.

And yeah, I'm completely incognito in kit and it cuts both ways - no one from my non-cycling life recognizes me in kit and no one that knows me only as a cyclist recognizes me in plain clothes. I've creeped out a friend of 25+ years by wordlessly slow rolling next to him on a bike path - he was starting to get uncomfortable before doing a double-take and realizing that it was me

Yeah, mine have never shown any objection, either, but if they did, that would be my response.

. Other times, in plain clothes, I've come across people that I've ridden with and I've had to introduce myself because they thought I was some random weirdo that started a conversation with them and somehow knew their name.
