2006 Singlehanded Transpacific Race
San Francisco to Hanalei, Hawaii
Carroll E's track June 24-July 17. The Pacific High forced us down south of the rhumbline.
Towed out to the starting line Starting line.......not a lot of wind! Second over the line......
...........last out the Gate.
25kts outside the Gate on course for Hawaii; or so I thought! The winds died once past Pt. Bonita. approaching the finish line in Hanalei
Riding the trade winds butterfly! The twin 150% genoas were worth their weight in gold...set 'em and forget 'em. During squalls I rolled them up to half size.
I did cut the handle off my tooth brush to reduce weight!
The many faces of Carroll E.
Roll call 0900 and 2100 PDT every day. One of many
