Previous"I'm at work so I can't just stand up and do a wind dance, so I did a chair-wind-dance-caterpillar- move and a guy who works with me did a funny little aboriginal looking dance. Should get you at least another 5 knots! I met you over at A dock in Berkeley a few months back and am rooting for you, way to bring it in." - Edward K.
"Good luck Ruben! You are an inspiration! Aloha" - Ryan C.
"You don't know me. We've never met, but like so many others have been following your progress. Your resourcefulness and determination are an inspiration to all of us. Wishing you a steady breeze and gentle seas." - Craig H.
"I am doing the Austrian war chant combined with the wind dance for you (I have to substitute Austrian beer with Napa Valley wine - hope that helps). Hang in there and embrace your arrival in Hanalei - it will be soon. I am split between envy and awe for the experience and your power to master this situation and will cheer for you as you get closer to this magical place/target. Fair winds and following seas!" - Hans M.
"I'm home Ruben, but you're on my mind. I'm sure Robbie tol dyou but at the Awards Dinner, every single skipper, at the group picture, was chanting "SPARKY, SPARKY, SPARKY". You'll get there. You'll have earned that belt buckle ten times over. I'm proud to call you "friend"." - Alan H.
