Since we decided to spend our remaining budget on beer at the finish line instead of a helicopter to photograph us, we don't have any pictures of Sauvage in the Molokai channel.  But here's a picture of one of our sister ships from Ventura/Santa Barbara area flying down the channel a bit ahead of us.  Change the boat, the scenery was the same. 

Kevin Miller and Eric Boman sailed with Dr. Laura on "Katana" to 4th in class.  Dr. Laura was quoted as "What can you say when the wind is 30 knots and the waves are boiling eight feet high, and I'm driving? The water was coming down the deck, and sometimes I couldn't even see out. And I didn't lose the boat. I...did...not...lose...the...boat!"

It's one of those "you had to be there" to appreciate it.  I've often said I'd do the whole Transpac again to sail the run to the finish line down the Molokai channel. And I'd do it again in a heartbeat.  Brian and Andy think I'm crazy, Chris might join me, and Jim?  might need a bigger boat.  Thanks guys for humoring me.
