Aloha Race Fans,
While we attempt to dazzle you with exciting words from the seas far away, we are challenged by the captivating challenge facing the crew. In the next couple of days, their skill will be tested and as will their will to succeed. We expect nothing less from them. From the words of the skipper and as an absolute contradiction to what Gayle (and Jane) considered to be their biggest challenge, the hardest part of the day was that the iPod died and they didn't get all the way through movie night (Master and Commander - a little twisted choice but there is no accounting for taste). Thank goodness we sent popcorn or there very well could have been mutiny.
Thursday, July 24, 2008 and 10 days into the journey of a lifetime for the crew aboard the No Ka Oi. Additionally, if you are thinking about a cruise, this is the way to go. The sun shining through white fluffy clouds set against deep blue water and a gentle sail. The sound of the ocean passing the sides of the boat...music to the ears.
Tonight's dinner consisted of Pesto Chicken with more of the insidious chocolate pudding. Who doesn't love a good chocolate pudding and with any luck, they worked out how to make it into a pie.
In a couple of days, the journey ends and the stories begin. We look forward to the close of one chapter and the opportunity it brings with the future. Once the Pacific Cup and the world really is your oyster...unless you are allergic to shell fish in which case, hopefully you can enjoy the pearls.
The crew requested tickets to the various events in HI and the larger boats are slated to arrive in the next day. Someone to warm up the docks for the Division A team!
We all remain anxious and hopeful.
Sincerely,
