Hi Cliff,

All the best to you on your offshore adventure to the South Pacific on Rainbow. I would see you off under the Gate but it's kind of a long way from San Diego. I look forward to...

Hi Carliane, I could be missing something but I only see one entry of a Freedom 38. To make the most vessel type list shorter I only listed models that have been entered at least twice. The Freedom...

So sorry Steve - you weren't dreaming (or maybe you were) but your name is now in the list of multi-entrants.

Next is the list ranked by Skipper multiple entries. Ken Roper leads by almost a fathom, 12 vs. Mike Jefferson's 7. Of course I may have messed up up, kind of like Brian.

OK Synthia, Here is the list by boat type. I count 23 Olson 30's, 13 Finn Flyer's (12 with the General), 12 Cal 40's, 11 Moore 24's and 10 beautiful Crealock 37's.

Bob, Jackie, Skip, Alan - that means a lot coming from you. It's nice to be able to contribute, even in this small way, and if there are more corrections or if sorting the list in a way other than...

Here are the updated SHTP results to include the 2021 race. What a great job by the race committee to make last year's race a such a success in spite of all the many challenges. Hope 2023 goes much...

Bill - Sorry, I knew that and I just fixed it.

Here's my latest attempt to update the SHTP results to include the 2021 race. I still don't know how to upload the xls file so here is the PDF. Maybe someone more techy than me can do that but at...

Nawiliwili again. On my afternoon marina walk I get through the unlocked gate of 200 dock and see this beautiful red boat. Hard to believe it has a bad rudder.

Further down to starboard...

Actually not Hanalei but Nawiliwili. Arrived yesterday due to month's long reservation assuming awards ceremony might be here again. Not. On my afternoon walk of the harbor I was passed by Siren...

Definitely hard work. Patty and I left home 5:30am from San Diego, waited on the tarmac in Lihue for 45 minutes, got our rental car at Enterprise, had lunch in Kapaa, got stopped just before Hanalei...

I think it's more like Aloha's tracker doesn't always send out accurate positions.

David Clark and I just inspected Kyle's Hobie 33, Aloha, yesterday. Kyle is a very active sailor and plans to crew on the Spinnaker Cup and Coastal Cup before the SHTP and then fly home from Hawaii...

Jackie,

Actually I've always thought of you as the glue that holds the SSS together. Your contributions are legendary and I am in awe.

Hi Jackie,

At least you spelled Crealock right this time but Morning Star is actually a Valiant 32. Can't wait to see everyone in Hanalei.

I did the same routine the last two races. Spend five or six days in Hanalei sharing serious tree time and the yellow house with the other finishers and your new best friends, then off to Nawiliwili...

I have to confess that the stuff (fog) on the left moved over to the right the next day, making my trip back down to White's pretty spooky (couldn't even see the island, just radar). Saturday I made...

By some strange coincidence both Morning Star and Dolfin are straddling the Isthmus in Catalina Island. Lee has anchored in Cat Harbor for a well deserved rest on the way up to the Channel Islands...

Just noticed Wildflower's passage to her new owner. I well remember first meeting the original Wildflower, and the Redcrest, in 1987 in Moorea although it seemed you mainly commuted on your...

My first landfall on both Transbacks was Two Harbors, Catalina. What a great place to decompress after the 25 (plus or minus) day passage from Hanalei Bay. My personal preference is the leeward...

Hi Randy, I know this is off topic but it's time I confess that every time I see your forum name "captleasure" my messed up mind sees "cattle pleasure". Don't know why and the image is kinda creepy...

Thanks for the memories, Skip. When we spent two weeks there in 1988 on the way from NZ to Hawaii, the only residents were two wonderful dogs, Army and Palmyra. They would herd small sharks in the...

Hey Mike, I had more than a "diesel leak" since Hawaii - in fact my diesel died last August on the way to Catalina. Spent the last three months of 2019 pulling my 35yr old Universal Model 40 and...

Actually I was thinking of flying over (just cancelled my reservations for this year) and helping out at the yellow house and the on the crash boat. But who knows, with another year to get the...
