John, Rob;
Great job guys. The entire LB Boeing IS department has been following your progress closely, we're all stoked you made it. 4th boat in! Not bad, not bad at all! You guys don't even look sunburned, and it looks like you've lost weight, obviously these 14 day races agree with you :-). Have a great time in Hawaii and give us a call when you've recovered.
Later,
Mark

Subject: Great Fun!

We are so impressed with what you have accomplished and the excitement you provided us desert rats.. This message was to your "mom" who kept us posted every single nautical mile.

Checked this a.m. and saw the picture of them on land, with their great shirts and leis. Good sight to see!! Wish we could go to the California party and hear all of the details. Let him (Johnny) know we are proud to say he is our "pride and joy" also. A long ways from the "green" Porche up and down Tomahawk to the "big boat" clear across the ocean!!!
