First crew changeover and foodstop

Tremendous drive for the second support vehicle and the RV away from the route. We've been through twisty mountain roads taking the Yacqui Pass between two stunning valleys. It's all sun baked rock and tough greenery.
We met Shu and the follow vehicle at Borrego Springs for the first proper feedstop and crew handover. She's been through time station 1.
It's really hot so while the crew are enjoying the air con we are starting to monitor Shu carefully for the heat.
The crew is now running on race time - the time in Annapolis, so three hours ahead of local time. It's confusing as the regulations around night time racing start at local time so in one hour and means we have phones on local time, watches on RAAM time.
