Morning Light Page #8

Back down, staysail out.

Bow down, kite up. See ya.

- [Van Os] God.

- [Branning] They're kinda truckin'.

It's like they can't sail at night,

but then the day comes

and they're like, "OK,

I guess we'll start sailing again."

Then they sail pretty well.

[Towill] I feel like

they gain at night.

[Tulloch] It's been

a really intense 24 hours.

We've got these pro sailors,

this super-fast boat.

And actually have crossed paths

with them this morning

and then fallen behind them

in two big maneuvers,

and then now to be beating them

again after the last 12 hours.

It's really keeping us motivated

and keeping us going.

[Branning] To give you an example

of what we're up against,

- the navigator for Samba...

- [chuckles]

...wrote the program

that we use to navigate,

that all the boats use

to navigate in the Volvo,

the around-the-world races,

in the America's Cup, stuff like that.

- So...

- It's cool to be racing against him,

have him right there.

Thinking with him.

[Branning] That was a cool feeling.

[Towill] What is Samba Pa Ti?

Is it a song or something?

[Schubert] Samba Pa Ti is a great song

by Carlos Santana.

[Tulloch] Trim.

Hold that.

Trim, Bear, trim.

Pull.

[exhales] I can't keep

trimming it like this.

It's... you're... You require a lot more

trim than most people,

and it's exhausting.

I know you're trying to do the fastest,

but... we're just going to

have to rotate more or something.

[Tulloch] Trim.

- Pull.

- [Kane] Damn.

[Towill] She's drunk on estrogen.

- [laughs]

- Put her down.

How would you feel if you were

the only guy on an all-girl boat?

[Branning] I'll take miserable

for 100, Alex.

[laughter]

We think Genny's had the better deal

than we would on the other end.

[Van Os] Who wants to

with his hands crossed?

[laughs] This is like a fireside

session here, a fireside chat.

Well, really, hmm, uh...

You know, obviously none of us

know exactly how it is to be Genny,

but it's got to be

a little more difficult...

Genny takes it pretty well

for being the only girl.

Spectacular. She's a trouper.

Not meaning to be mean,

but we give her a lot of...

...just, you know, out of,

being, you know, teammates.

It would be very interesting to see,

you know...

To be on the opposite

side of... of...

[Towill] I wouldn't

want to do it at all.

Dude, if I could do this again

with 15 girls, I'd do it.

- It wouldn't be the same.

- It wouldn't be.

[Welch] Little does

Samba know what

we're talking about

while we were drag racing.

[Wilmot] Y'all have seen

the standings this morning.

We're still in good shape.

Believe it or not, even with Samba's

advantage right now

we still have them uncorrected.

But they are making a charge for it,

and we have to, too.

Let's not give in.

We're in second place.

Samba is just there, the big trophy.

So, let's just get our heads high,

and let's just push into this. OK, guys?

- Shoops, did they just jibe?

- [Schubert] Yes.

- [Wilmot] They did?

- [Schubert] Yes.

Gutsiest move I ever saw.

Shoops, take the wheel, mate.

B-Man. Jess. You're not

rolling that, are you?

No. No.

[Wilmot] Chuck it in the bag.

B-Man, I need you up here.

B-man, I said I needed you, mate.

That's not what I heard.

- [Wilmot] Yes, it is.

- [Branning] I can't hear ya.

[Wilmot] Come here.

Why have they jibed already?

What are you not telling me?

- His tack's at 290.

- The pressure's over there.

Is it worth taking it to get there?

[Branning] The Troll Nazi's back.

[Schubert] The thing is,

you can't get pissed though.

- [Towill] He, uh...

- [Schubert] It's always a good point.

It's always in the interest of speed.

[Wilmot] OK, guys.

We cleared for a jibe? Let's do it.

Let it go. Let it pass.

Smoothly, guys.

Make every movement smooth. OK?

I say it so many times.

[Schubert] Samba looked pretty far away.

[Kane] I just want them to go away.

So we can go back to sailing again.

Day nine.

Eleven... twent... Elev...

I got 11:
30.

And this race is taking way too long.

I'll talk about food, how about I talk

about that? All right.

Well, today's the last day

of full meals.

So tomorrow

we're starting the rations.

So we've got... five meals.

And if that's three days,

then it's two meals a day.

So if we're doing two meals a day,

we should do it like 6am and 6pm.

- Yeah.

- Is that cool?

- Yeah.

- All right.

[Welch] Captain,

you ready for it now?

- Uh-uh. I'm eating dirt.

- [Schubert] It's really bad.

- Ah, that's not doing it.

- [Schubert] There's nothing else.

Do it with five of these in your mouth.

Yeah, there ya go.

Get rid of the aftertaste.

Uh, one of our little hobbies

that we've kinda picked up

is talking about the instantaneous

cravings that we have.

[Towill] Tuna salad sandwich.

Chocolate chip cookies

dipped in milk.

Dirt, tofu and... Uh.

- Jars of peanut butter.

- [Van Os] Peanut butter?

They just... [makes smash sound]

...protein.

Leave it out in the sun.

You get a peanut butter milkshake.

Look at the camera.

[Schubert] Hadn't eaten since

yesterday at 6:
30.

It was awesome.

I didn't even chew.

I felt like my dog, Jake. When he eats,

he doesn't breathe, he just chews.

Eh, about half of it's chewed...

like, he chews about half.

Swallows the other half. No breathing

through the entire process.

Am I getting my point across?

This is how desperate we are for food.

We will eat the worst meal we've ever

had just because we're hungry,

and we won't have another meal

for eight hours.

Forcing it down your throat,

and at the end of it,

you feel like you're gonna throw up.

[Schubert] Bunch of us

are craving Reese's

and different types of pizza,

and Chinese food so.

[Branning] Chicken teriyaki

makes me want to vomit now.

[Brant-Zawadzki] Hey, guys.

Steve-O wants to know

what's taking so long.

Oh, and ask Turtle if he'd rather have

a nice tall glass of Baileys

at the dock instead of a mai tai.

Don't worry about Samba, you guys can

lose them in those shoals up ahead.

If you don't know what that's from,

we're not friends anymore.

Godspeed M.L., stay fast

and don't eat each other.

Signed, Pirate.

I'm a lucky bastard.

I'm lucky.

- Are you sure we're headed west?

- [laughs]

[Wilmot] Hawaii can't possibly

be this far away. Come on.

[Kane] Nothing's this far from land.

This is just stupid.

This is bad placement.

Why would you put islands

this far away from?

[Wilmot] Get Towiller up here.

Tell him to find Hawaii.

[Kane] Towiller, we need to pull

your house out the water.

Hello there!

[Branning] We sail, like, it's

a considerable part of the race

with Samba within ten miles

the whole time.

Last night they split

and went 120 miles to the south of us.

I mean, we're really far away

and they're all by themselves.

[Kilroy] We just felt that if we could

get south, we'd get better breeze.

Based upon the numbers, it wasn't

one of these, you know, roll the dice.

Yeah, like when you look
