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.

Just a Longpac away from paradise! (the Longpac was a 400 mile roundtrip offshore trip used to qualify for the SHTP) 394 miles to go. Autopilot gave up the ghost. Hand steered most of last night. Spirits are up and I can smell pizza. Hanalei here we come!

talked to him at 3:00 pm
368 DTF. Winds have been light. Haven’t seen any marine life. Talked to freighter from Takoma, WA today. Hailed him and we had a good talk. He said he was glad I hailed him because he didn’t even know I was there. Small boats like mine, he said, are invisible to him. Comforting…
Been chatting on the SSB with whomever’s left. I have to say, and I’m sure the other guys can attest to this, these light wind days are pretty taxing and tiring. There’s breeze right now, however, and the sails look good. ~Adam
