Aloha,
I know it has been a few days, we have been cleaning and decompressing but having a great time on "vacation" after our journey across the Pacific.

It's too bad all good things have to come to an end, but my Mom once told me that this is what makes you appreciate them even more. It's been a
great 2 weeks away from the "real world", but we are all very excited to see all of our family that we have missed with feet on land. Thanks
to everyone that made this possible for all of us and we hope that you have enjoyed our blogging and tracking us through the race.

It's an experience to remember, a once in a lifetime adventure - The Fun Race to Hawaii, no matter what! And we have a lot of pictures and stories to show for it.

To Ken and Alyssa - Thank you for making such a wonderful crew in all that you did. I only hope that you had a good time as well. You were awesome and there is always an open crew spot for you on Tiki J!
To my Spouse - Thank you for outfitting a boat fit for a perfect family cruise AND ocean racing and allowing me to be in charge! I love you!
To my Brothers: My sincere appreciation and gratitude go to my brothers Bill and Brad and their families for all of their support and for
accompanying Scott and me on this trip. We will forever be grateful and no doubt reminiscence at future family gatherings about our times
sailing the Pacific. As I'm reminded by my friends, we are an unusual family in the fact the one thing that we have always had in common is that
we all three have continued our sailing adventures all over the world over the last 37 years AND we sail together. I couldn't ask for
anything more in life than to race in the 2012 Pac Cup with you - THANK YOU from your very grateful little sister.

Love,
Kim
