July 14 - SV Sonsie
by Sonsie, July 15th, 2010Good evening from N2541 W15058...about 450 miles out of Maui tonight...weère thinknig we might be in around sunset on the 17th!
The day started off with NO wind...5 knots and the sails flapping in the swell. We only ran 132 NM in 24 hours during the night.
But the day is ending with the trades filling in to 20 knots...and Serge catching a Mahi Mahi! Iridescent hues and a big fight in the water for Serge...we let him go as there is still toooo much food on board!
Too beautiful for words out here tonight...
SV Sonsie and crew

Xiomara
Life is short. When you have a dream, today is the time to make it happen. We are a team with a dream; we will be sailing across the Pacific Ocean straight to paradise. We all have our stories that brought us together on this journey. This adventure is about new friendships, excitement and life achievement.
Xiomara is brand new to the world of racing. She was born just before COVID in 2019. She is an X-Yacht 4.3. Xiomara stands for Ready for battle and the Brightest star in the universe. We are ready to shine our way to Maui, skippered by Aidan Walters. Elaine, Glyn, Ian, Isa, Kurt, Scott, Shannon and Steve are all members of the new family of Xiomara. We will be racing Patos Island, Southern Straights and Swiftsure this season. As part of our journey, we will be raising money for awareness on cancer research in the name of the BC Cancer foundation. Please donate if you know someone battling with this terrible disease so we can make a difference.
