Never a doubt in our minds that you would be in the No.1 spot on Transpac Row at Ala Wai yacht harbor!!

You continue to be our hero...Your beautiful wife and regal Mom look super in the photo. We will host you all in Carmel upon your return.

How exciting it has been to follow your progress on the website. We were with you all the way!!!

Love, Chris & Lar

I know a little bit about what it means to cross the finish line first...it means you are the winner no matter what the stewards say!! Racehorse Vicki

Subject: Friends and Fans

Thanks to all of you who have been watching this great adventure. For some of us it is a first and probably only chance to sail in the greatest offshore race in the world and every moment was better that we could have hoped. Monday it is back to work but for now, the Mai Tais only help to remind us of how much fun it was.

Oh, and finishing first wasn't bad either.

Aloha,

Hi Guys,

Looked like a great sail! Glad to see you got the Big Bleu Bus into the harbor 1st! Couldn't have happened to a nicer bunch of guys. Hey Davy-where's your coolie hat?

Sigh. Another of life's decisions blown all to hell. Wish I was there.

Pete Jung

ps-keep the ladies out of Hilo Haties-trust me on this.
