Yachts in the Charleston to Bermuda race have hit a snag - no wind.Last night every boat in the fleet encountered nearly windless conditions and a mid-ocean parking lot.Three quarters of the way across the 777-mile stretch, the lines depicting each boat’s route on the Yellowbrick tracking software resembled an EKG gone awry. Several boats were shown to be steering almost due north, and one boat had spent the previous six hours sailing back toward the mainland, according to the race website.As of 6am today, Stephen Colbert and his fellow crewmates on board the Spirit of Juno, still maintained the lead with a small advantage over their closest rival, but they were only travelling at three knots.Last night, Mr Colbert sent the following missive ashore: “Wednesday, 5.04pm. 180 miles off Bermuda. First of all, would someone please call the Hamilton Fairmont and cancel Stephen’s massage for tomorrow morning? Thanks a bunch.“In the last 48 hours, we´ve seen sperm whales breaching, a family of dolphins playing in our bow wake, devil rays, and man o’war."Now we are alone. A speck of white moving over and under fields of endless blue. Winds are light and variable. We have put up our Audi spinnaker (which is roughly the size of Denmark), and we crawl toward glory at the blistering pace of four knots. And by blistering, we mean what’s happening to our skin in the merciless rays of the sun.“In these conditions, it is more important than ever to keep up your fluid intake, or else suffer the serious effects of dehydration: fatigue, dizziness, and hallucinations. Thankfully, so far…Spiders! Spiders everywhere! They’re coming out of the sails! Kill them with fire!"Love, The Spirit of Juno"p.s. Did that Rapture thing happen last Saturday? You know what, don’t tell us. We’ve got it TiVOed. TSOJ"As of the 7am. today, the only boat exhibiting significant progress was Tucana, which was moving at over six knots some 176 miles from the finish. She was also the only boat south of the rhumbline, steering a course nearly due south.Effectively, the stage is set for a crazy finish. If the winds fill in from the northeast later today (as they’re forecast to) Tucana will find herself having to sail upwind, whereas the boats north of the rhumbline should have reaching angles, meaning faster speeds.
