The SHTP - it's like Lay's potato chips.
I was looking for the spreadsheet from this feed and noticed your comment, Bill, and need to make a correction. Linda Newland was the first (and only) woman to have done the SHTP twice. Her former name was Linda Weber-Rettie. She didn't stop with that race either. She also sailed solo from SF to Kobe, Japan, and still holds the record (52 days) for a woman's solo transpacific crossing. And this was the whole ocean, too....not just half of one, as someone said to me once.
I stand corrected. Oh well, you can still be the second but then you would probably have to sail all the way to New Zealand to cross the "whole ocean". I think the SHTP is fine just the way it is. By the way - with all your "admin control" power, maybe you can change the name of this thread to be "SHTP Results 1978 to Present".Linda Newland was the first (and only) woman to have done the SHTP twice.
