Day Two Pacific Cup
Well David has not eaten all the peanut butter yet. Easy reach out last night and set kite this morning. All are well and we have started to get in to the offshore grove. Just realized I am writing exactly 24 hrs after the start. Off to my bunk and more tomorrow. Nice nap and woke up to Brent, Jim, and Kame flying the Condor. Big kite up and making miles. Kame quote of the day, “Dont bother me I am sailing,” with his huge smile. Back into full kit and start my watch. Aloha

Spinnaker Cup on Class 40 California Condor
This past week I went to San Francisco to meet the team of California Condor in preparation for the Pacific Cup in July, and put in a few days working on the boat.
