With the m to go in the low triple digits,we can almost taste the MaiTais. Last night was our big chance to pick up a place. However, the light air gremlins visited us instead of them, so ... No.
We will see.

Routing has us arriving at 7 am Sunday. Pacific time. It takes us a couple hours to get to the finish dock so we can clean up the boat and change clothes
Last night was wild with strong winds and irregular waves. Our Drivers made good use of it , giving us the best turn of speed of all but the division 1 boats.
Dinner last night was mandarin orange chicken. Tonight: eggplant Parm.

Not that we wanted to wait till the last minute, but between COVID and some late discoveries, we replaced our backstay, headstay foil, main and big #1 genoa all within the last few days. The backstay, a carbon "rod" arrived with a kink in the middle, which concerned us till a discussion with the maker explained that this was purely cosmetic, and that the load carrying carbon fibers in the core would be undamaged. The new main looks great, as does the new #1 headsail. I installed the headfoil a couple of weeks ago.
Today, we are a flurry of activity, last provisioning moves, stowing gear, and checking the weather. We get our skipper bag and tracker today too for the start tomorrow. Fun times!

We decided not to race the third leg of the Cal Offshore Race Week,
guessing that the wind would be too light to finish. Sure enough, no
finishers in our small division, so we ended up in first place!

In anticipation of the 2021 Transpac, I am reviving our remote post
system. Can't quite remember how it works, but if you see this, it does.

Early last week, Michael Moradzadeh of Tiburon had been considering entering his Santa Cruz 50 Oaxaca in the Three Bridge Fiasco. His plans for Saturday changed, but still involved getting the boat out.

They're dribbling them out slowly, but here's a nice shot of our finish from Sharon Green. This one we had to pay for. Respect their copyright.

Plastic spider on board caused great concern.
Skipper unfairly accused of planting it. To be fair, it is something he WOULD do, but in this case, did not.
