You guys are the greatest--Tom, Doug and your loyal crew. That's a lot of blue water you just crossed. Quite an accomplishment. God's ocean is so big and your boat so small. I couldn't be prouder.

Congratulations to all of you. It's a long race.

Hurry home. I just waxed your whaler but it needs some fuel.

See you at the island (Sept.?).

Subject: Congrats

Heh, guys well done, Doug did you get flash backs to '79 this trip? Viewing winning courses it was a bit of a crap shoot where to be on the course.

+ staggered start really makes it hard to compare.

Well done, hope to see y'all soon have a Mai Tai for me.

Congratulations to you all. Kroeger and I thought about trailing you in your whaler but we didn't have the gas situation figured out.

See you at Howlands some time !!

Dear Tommy, Doug, Big Bob, Little Marty and Charlie (aka: from "Bad Ass" to "Baby Face"), Just wanted to tell you guys how proud I am of ALL of you. You're a hell of a crew, and you sailed a super race. I had a blast hanging in Honolulu and sharing mai tais with you.
Much love, Dixie
