Getting close: Singlehanded TransPac

[Alan H]

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!

Alan - you have my undying respect for following your dreams and completing this journey measured in miles and I'm sure much more than that.

Well Done Alan - Well Done indeed!
