Another great photo of Alan and his intrepid ship Ankle Biter. This is as he is sailing into the anchorage and his lovely bride is on board with him...

That is honor, and there are way too many people in this country who no longer understand it." anon

Alan has posted a final log entry on the traspac website. It is quite moving.
Well done sir!

I'm ba-a-a-a-ack!!!
Wow, you all followed along!
That little jaunt 200 miles north in one night, early in the race is a goof on my part in reporting my position over the radio.
Believe it or not I haven't actually checked out my finishing position fleet-wide, yet. I thought I might save my handicap time on Warriors Wish, but I didn't push quite hard enough. What ACTUALLY happened was that I realized about four days out that no matter what I did I was making about 70 miles every 12 hours, and I opted for a dawn finish over busting a gut, finishing at O dark-thirty, and still probably not saving my time on Don Gray.
It was a wonderful experience, a real dream come true. THANK YOU all for following along, I'm glad you enjoyed reading the blogs and following our charted positions!
I've got a new belt buckle!

BTW, that drink was Guinness, and I attended both the Farewell Dinner and the awards dinner, kilted!
One of Joans Christmas presents to me last year was a drink of my choice at the Tahiti Nui. That's the bar in Hanalei. My drink of choice?
Three fingers of Johnnie Walker Black Label!
