Hi all, we completed the race Monday morning around 0650 Hawaii time, just after the sun came up. This continues my streak of races finishing in daylight. We completed the 2,070 nautical mile course in 12 days, 22 hours, 45 minutes, holding our lead in the fleet from the Golden Gate bridge to the finish. However, given the slow first half of the race, on corrected time we just didn’t have enough race course to build a lead to finish on top. We feel good that we were first to finish in our fleet and arrived before all but 3 other Monday and Tuesday starters. We were welcomed into Kaneohe Bay by several heavy showers that completely soaked ourselves and the boat (we probably both needed it). The welcoming party was great and for my first time we got a spot on the KYC bulkhead - which was mostly empty as we arrived before so many other boats. Looking forward to the awards dinner Friday night.
