Rick and Incredible crew:

Fantastic, you guys were wonderful on such a difficult race with light winds. Did you ever think you would beat the sleds by 2 hours? You are all to be congratulated on doing such a good job on a "first" race such as this. Enjoy Hawaii, hoist one for me, look for Howard and Carol Keiper on Alaska Eagle on Friday or Saturday.

It is your day for fun in the sun. Have a great week on the Island of Paradise.

Congratulations from the East Coast.

Congratulations, Rick (and crew). It was a slow boat to Hawaii but you did it. I was so excited yesterday when I saw that the winds had picked and you were so close to finishing. Hope the champagne was a good reward for a job well done.
Hugs and love, Mom and Bob

John and crew -

You guys did a great. It was fun to follow your progress. I could tell from the position and wind reports that you guys were working the boat instead of the other way around. Enjoy your time in the sun. You guys earned it.

p.s. - John I have a real desire to show up over there with the latest Lighthouse creation, a 6'1" fish. Garrett says it cranks!

For some of the crew on board...ho hum...it may have been just another Transpac, but for the rest, the first time is always the best and most exciting! The first time racing to Catalina, the first time racing to Ensenada, and now...Hawaii!
Your smiles in the photos say it all...and we share in your joy.

Wish I was there...

All the best to Donna, Meagan and Daniel.
