Tiki J's Pacific Cup Blog

Good sailing day yesterday. Ate well last night...it's always "the best dinners ever" - chicken, rice and broccoli casserole!

Sailing stuff: Yesterday put up the A4 and had it up until about midnight when the tack line came off of the front connector. Took the A4 down and used 150 until morning shift change - wind direction is good enough to put up A4 again. Holding it pretty well, but tough on the drivers...which by the way, we only have 4...did someone forget to count before we left the dock!?

To Liz: thinking an in-house massage therapist may be needed when we get there or our muscles will just be really defined:-) But then maybe I'm just whining to anyone who will listen - you ha ha!

Today - so far had breakfast, everyone sleeping until woken up, A4 up, A4 wrapped really really well, now sailing again. Put lasagna in oven at 10am as we need it for lunch today instead of waiting for dinner!

Everyone doing fine - Cody hanging out up top all day while Max is reading below. Seems to be there comfortable spots! Kim

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
