thanks for all of the input guys. Needing to rent an EPIRB, have some type of knot log, AIS, spare GPS, etc etc is going to probably mean that I am not going to make LongPac, but SH Farallones is definitely in the works. S/V Domino is registered for Farallones but not planning on LongPac, to my knowledge.
Chippewa is very strongly considering making a run at the south tower race in lieu of the Long Pac...
having said all of that, Adam and I are already talking about arranging another "LatePac" like last year; probably either in the fall during a weather window, or in the spring, but who knows.
