UPDATE: Thelonious II Completes Hawaii Cruise, 2021.

Its interesting that your outbound journeys all made a beeline to Hawaii. The lore used to be sail south along Baja to find the trade wind. Has the Pacific high taken up a new residence?

 

[Christian Williams]

Beeline is standard. If there were a better way the Transpac Race navigators would find it.

welcome back! and look out for those sneaker-waves in the hallway...

Welcome back ! It must be a great feeling of accomplishment…

 

[Christian Williams]

Thanks, it is.

I'll post a preliminary report tomorrow--thanks to all who have been asking. I have (ugh) no less than 420 gigabytes of video to edit, so the full story will need a month or so to be ready. Nineteen days out and 26 back, a fairly rigorous ride both ways. There is much to be said.

I remember from your wind vane install video that you had to do some minor dance moves to get below deck to work on it. My mind wonders how many times you had to do that cha cha in the open ocean. Understatement has left me with only a few key adjectives to guess at what went on out there. I am looking forward to watching 15 rounds of Williams versus Poseidon. The Philippic in the Pacific.
