Transpac 2007

Thanks for joining us for Justins Birthday BASH!

Tower went in and out of the slip and sails when up and down and the boat went out and back up and down the coast into the DREADED Rainbow Harbor but we did not touch down.  So we are still not over rainbow this is not KANSAS is it?  The rig is getting happy happy..

Here is a picture of Justin McJones doing preliminary navigation adjustments he is memorizing the reduction tables and setting sailmail to his new TUFF BOOK, I do not know what is showing on that GPS monitor but I am sure it is helping.  This is all very serious stuff right?  I think they have added a flask to current sextants.. for rum.

Tower is going to power up and check rigging and instruments and other race equipment.

Well now we had great success on TOWER chatting with the INFAMOUS GORDON WEST  http://www.gordonwestradioschool.com/

   (not to be confused with ADAM WEST as batman)

The radio seems to work very well.  We talked and heard Frisco very clearly.

HAN reports today: We talked and heard Gordon West in Orange County not as clear. He said we were getting through on the ground wave, which requires good strength. SO the radio and installation seems quite good.

who shrunk the doug?..Happy Fathers day, OK here is the YOUNGEST transpac driver/skipper. Gavin loves the boat so much and loves hanging with the crew. I am heading up boyz…

Ah the wizard Yoda-Ben what ever Martin the Hat sent me some pictures with very nice curse words that where like edited PG.  There is that kite right there see it?

Mana’0 I looked up the word TOWER in the Online Hawaiian Dictionary and got ‘Ale’o is it good the word ALE in inside of the word?

Yoda-Martin Wilson still is failing to send any email photos or media from this weekend other than cute or nasty bud light videos about cursing or fruit and veggies dressed up as people, go figure.  Dude.. get your light sabre fired up it is race time not veggie art!  So no TOWER pictures, but good news today !

Jerry the world Famous Montgomery on the left (some chap with a hollywood name like printer labels on the right) will be back on Mystere on another ride to Oahu, we are glad to report that his lovely wife Marilyn has given her blessing on his exit, she can finally get some rest when he is gone ha ha..
