4:47 pm VALIS time
This is gonna be short cause I am one tired puppy. Finally got a spinnaker up today. It's been all over the place from no wind and big lumpy seas to blowing low 20's and big lumpy seas. It's work your butt off through the light air to get to the little squalls where all the wind is, then work your butt off to go fast & keep it all upright & aimed.
I've been ignoring watches and sailing since 6:00 am, and sleeping with my boots on in case I'm called, so for now:
Whiskey Delta Bravo 2898 VALIS out
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
