Arvid could finally retain some breakfast, after him and the whole crew had a great 4 hour sleep. We past TS6. Weather is hot again. 

Arvid has been struggling all day today with keeping food down. He has had little food (that has stayed down) in the last 24 hours.  He took several longer breaks in the afternoon and evening but we have now stopped…

After a good nap/rest of 3 hrs we are on the road again. Iced water, yerba, beef jerky and a lot of salt got some of the minerals back and Arvid is racing again! 

Arvid is taking a rest. The heat is intense! The minerals in his body are somewhat out of balance and he needs to recover a bit before continuing. Pray for a swift recovery.
