That’s a lousy way to have to DNF in the Newport Beach to Cabo race, ain’t it?
Hollywood Down Under satellite telephoned the NHYC RC at 1523 hours (UTC-7) stating they have an alternator/generator issue rendering house batteries to drain below safety limits. They have elected to retire from the Cabo Race to prevent a safety issue from occurring. All crew is reported safe and the boat is returning to San Diego. We will monitor their progress on the uphill return path and will also receive a position report at 0800 Monday AM if not already in port. Track the fleet here.
