Sonsie July 16-17
by Sonsie, July 16th, 2010
Hi everyone! Some connection issues yesterday but will try and get this out one last time as we are sooo close to Lahaina now. About 136 NM to go at 1320 HST, position N 2239 W 15454, speed is 7 knots and our last 24 hours of running was 159 NM.
Everyone is in great spirits and looking forward to a late morning arrival tomorrow! It's 28 degrees out right now and more Hawaiian seabirds are in view...
So, as we are nearing shore we will sign off from our sailmail address updates now until our arrival. Thanks for following along! We are all looking forward to seeing you all soon!

New Haven. A Baltic 38DB designed by naval architect Doug Peterson, is a racer/cruiser that was built for speed and comfort in high seas. Earlier in his life skipper Tim Slater (who is now supported by partner Erin Moore for this adventure) sailed the Pacific Ocean for three years on a cruising boat and is looking forward to doing this part of that cruise in a racing environment. He is the Vice Commodore at the False Creek Yacht Club and is their second entry alongside Elan, skippered by Paul McGarvey. Tim’s crew is a mixture of life experienced people of all ages, who have discovered a passion for sailing this boat and who are looking forward to participating in this endeavour that is the perfect conflation of racing and adventure.
PS: BBQ will stay on the rails, meals will be cooked and we’ll be taking showers….Defectors are welcome.
