7:49 pm VALIS time
Absolutely beautiful evening here! Finally the gray clouds are trying to break up for the first time in a couple of days, the water is sparkling blue, the seas and breeze are gentle and pleasant. We've made it to waters that are over 60 degrees and the effect on the air is perfect. Unfortunately the breeze seems to be heading us (causing us to gradually turn away from our target) and slackening, so at some point tonight, I suspect we'll be pulling down the spinnaker and going back to white sails.. It's one of those times when it's much more about enjoying the sail than worrying about the race. Just a beautiful place to be.
Yep, I'm sailing the PacCup again for 2014. We'll be covering over 2,000 miles and two weeks in Paul Elliot's beautiful VALIS, starting in San Francisco Bay and ending up in Kaneohe, Oahu. Our only connection to you will be via a puny satellite connection, so I can't send pics till we hit land, but if it all works right I should be able to update this blog once in a while. I look forward to reading your comments when I get back. Aloha! -Other Paul

I got to sail with Doug yesterday in PEI. Not quite your adventure, but very nice!
Can't wait to meet you in Hawaii!
