.....for those of you following the race.

7:15 AM local time Hawaii, Ruben Gabriel and Sparky crossed the line and sailed into Hanalei Bay.

Sparky was dismasted over 650 miles from Hawaii. Ruben made a jury rig mast from the broken parts, endured days with no wind, and finally got little Sparky moving at 5 knots....almost as fast as he was going with a full rig...towards the goal.

GO THE SPARK!

........and congratulations, hugs, and beer for Ruben Gabriel!!!!!!!
