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.

June 29th, 2010

There’s not much wind today. I’m sailing wing-on-wing with one of my twin headsails. I’ve been going about 4-1/2 knots. Just waiting for the wind to fill in. I covered about 100 miles yesterday, but I’ll be lucky to get anywhere close to that today. Had a Matson tanker, the Mokihana, hail me today. We had a nice little chat. He said that they were on their way to Oakland from Hawaii, then down to L.A. and back to Hawaii. He said he’d pass me again on the way back. At this rate, that’s possible. Thinking about putting up the spinnaker if the wind is this light again tomorrow.
Other than wishing for wind, I’m doing my routine of eating, napping, and talking on the SSB. AJ and I were trash-talking earlier. It’s on, AJ! It’s actually been on for a few days now, but that’s not the point. More tomorrow! ~Adam
