Update

I walked over to see Gavin writing his blog post and it seemed to pretty much contain anything I would want to say and more. It was a fabulous swim about 725 nautical miles west of San Francisco. The water was crystal clear, 60 degrees, and beat the water in Aquatic park where I once trained for the Alcatraz swim. It seemed to be less buoyant.

Yesterday, we caught another blue fin tuna. So that 'bait lost vs fish caught' score is about even. At first when the propeller blades came into question, it seemed like it was simply revenge of the blue fin.

Some details that I may have forgotten to pencil in when setting up the blog:

What does No Ka Oi mean?
It means "the best". It is also the slogan for the island of Maui.

What sails does she have?
She was spruced up for the Pac Cup last year. She has 11 in all: 2 mains, 3 spinnakers, 2 storm jibs, and 4 jibs (75, 130, 150 & the code zero). As an example, 100 means a jib that extends to the mast, so a 130 is bigger and extends 30% past it.
