Sal arrived yesterday. His autopilot failed 2 days out, he hand steered the last 2 days without sleep. But he made it.

I hope he kept a log.

Jim, if you talk to him ask him to write everything he can remember. Technically I can only submit C25/C250 stories but if we could write a great article I’ll bet we could get it into the Mainsheet.
28’ all the way to Hawaii. Great job.

BTW I am reading [url="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0924486848/qid=1083011411/sr=8-1/ref=pd_ka_1/002-3363047-7624060?v=glance&s=books&n=507846"]Bernard Moitessier’s “The Long Way” [/url]. After completing an around the world single-handed race Moitessier kept going instead of returning to England to accept his prize. This is a wonder tale and there is a lot to learn about blue water sailing in it.

Underlined words are a <b><font color="red">HOT</font id="red"></b> link.

I admire his spirit more than the primadonnas who make up the "Around Alone" bunch--nowadays they won't take off without a bulletproof $5 million buck boat under them and another $1 million cash in the bank. Sal makes Brad Van Lieuw look like a wuss...
