COUNTDOWN TO LAUNCH!!
(Note from Jeanne)
If you are planning to come to see Robert off and wish to speak to him prior to his departure, you will want to arrive by 9:00 a.m. He will be in the dock area with "Black Feathers" prior to being towed and after he has been towed, the best vantage point is from the Yacht Club balcony. Everyone is welcome.
Once the race starts, we can usually see the entrants for an hour or two while they head for the Golden Gate. Viewing from the Golden Gate Headlands provides an interesting perspective also.
His hope is to reach Hanalei Bay on July 30th. The deadline for finishing is August 2, 2008 unless extended due to lack of wind. Please let there be good wind.
If you would like to follow along with the race in general, please go to 2008 TransPac and you will find updates posted on a daily basis.
