Previous"Dear Ruben and his loved ones, I come from a sailing family, but after 40 years finally picked up my very own first boat two weeks ago, a Cal 20, one of which we know made it to Kauai from SF. This is my first Trans Pac following, thanks to becoming friends with an RC member, one of whom WILL GREET YOU WHEN YOU MAKE IT TO HANALEI!!!!! :) I followed your boat at first because we have a cat with the same name, and then when the dismasting happened, really felt for you and now check in many times throughout the day to see how you are doing and hoping for an update. Can't wait to see the pictures of you AT THE FINISH LINE!!!!! Blessings, safety, and wind." Kristen S.
"This probably won't help but a number of years ago I was bringing a catamaran up from Samoa and we had a week during which we went 45 miles backwards (no auxillary). Interestingly we also had some small fish that hung out with us for the whole week." Clark (Hulakai)
"To Ruben and Sparky, Joshua Siegel aka Sunquest skipper and I are still in Kauai and will be here until Saturday August 9th. We are hoping for fair winds and calm seas for you as you travel towards Hanalei Bay. We think of you daily and wish for winds to carry you toward the finish and to Robbi. Looking forward to your finish." Becky and Joshua
