About

In June 2012, I will be taking part in a solo, non-stop, unassisted race to Hawaii aboard my Wilderness 30 named Domino. The Singlehanded Transpac has been described by some as a "A bug light for weirdos". Follow me and my fellow “bug light weirdos” as we prepare our boats and ourselves for the downwind run to Hawaii.

Autopilot, Chart Table, And A Visit From The Bika Crew

March 14th, 2010

Autopilot Install

Kathe and I are sewing up a new Mainsail cover today…and I am hoping to sew up a little protective sunbrella sweater for the Autopilot. My windvane will be doing most of the steering but it is always nice to have an Autopilot.

Simple Setup...SSB, VHF, AIS, Handheld GPS

The Chart table setup is coming along.

Nina & Henrik from s/v Bika Contessa 26

We had a great time hanging out with Nina & Henrik from the sailing vessel Bika–The little Contessa 26 BIKA that goes everywhere! We discussed the utility and futility of small sailboat living & adventuring–but came to a mutual conclusion that small boats were simply “cool” and well worth any discomfort that may arise. They have been doing some amazing work on BIKA lately including adding more than 60 feet of stiffening stringers to the HULL. Pretty amazing! I hope to see a bit more of the Bika crew before leaving for Hawaii in June.
