Tiki J's Pacific Cup Blog

WOW!! This is why I signed up for this race!!! Sunny and warm, sailing in shorts and a t-shirt with lots of sun block. We have finally broken free of the grey skies and fluky wind and are sailing strait to Hawaii with our spinnaker up, the wind at our back and the warm sun shinning on our faces. I feel I should have to pay for this much fun! We are finally making good time towards Hawaii, covering over 150 miles on Friday and anticipating over 180 miles today.

The 1/2 way point is 1035 miles so we should reach that on Tuesday, July 24 early afternoon. ETA in Hawaii is the following Tuesday, 31 of July....hopefully. This is defiantly about the journey and not the destination and so far the journey has been a blast. Time for a nap before I sail again. KV

Extra:	2016 Update: The Year of the Kids! A lot of Worshams and those mental enough to be on a boat with them! In the Small World department, the Tiki J race crew, return crew (including Bill Sr) and shore support crew a.k.a. our extended families were saddened to learn of the passing of Charley [...] Dole in Hawaii earlier this year. Charley and the University of Hawaii collegiate sailing team stayed with us in Port Neches, TX during a regatta hosted by the Lamar University sailing team long ago (early '80s?) and we had several later occasions to stay in touch. Kim saw him after the 2010 Pac Cup when he was helming a J/24 in the local beer can race at age 90-something. We had hoped to see him again this summer. We will think about him often during the race and would like to lift a glass with others who knew him once we arrive in Hawaii. More
