Hawaii 2

We're finally almost ready to depart for San Diego. The problems with the boat have been more or less worked out and we're set to head out to sea again. While we were stuck here waiting for the boat parts to arrive, I've gotten work repairing boats and we've been out sailing as often as possible. In Hawaii I've met all kinds of amazing people and have had loads of time to catch up with Brian Caldwell and his family.

It's interesting how things turn out, I flew to Kauai three weeks ago to sail across the Pacific and found myself fully employed three days later on Oahu! We're spending aa few days checking out the Big Island and then will make the final preparations to leave. Here's a few pics from Hawaii.

  2. Thanks for the update, Ryan. Hawaii’s not a bad place to pick up some boat repair jobs. I’m sure there’s plenty of work there. Minoru Saito has kept a few people busy in Honolulu lately. I traveled to New York last week to join Jessica Watson, her media manger Andrew Fraser and a small group of Jessica’s most faithful supporters for dinner. What a thrill to meet Jessica. She and Andrew are the most gracious and unpretentious people you can imagine. As Brian can tell, she’s an amazing young lady. If you haven’t had the opportunity to meet her yet, I think that you would really enjoy exchanging stories with her if you ever get the chance. Enjoy your sail to the mainland and keep us up to date.
