Hope you're having a great time in beautiful San Francisco. We're looking forward to following your progress in the race and following your adventures. Try to keep those butterflies at bay by remembering something Gene Brown said to us before or start a few years ago, "It's just like sailing on Commencement Bay, only a bit bigger!" We're thinking about you guys and wish you the best.
Deb and Don
Thanks!
Hi Willard and crew - all the best for your adventure across from SFC to Hawaii. I hope the Pacific is kind to you all. Travel safe and my prayers for a safe arrival to you all.
Best wishes
Steve from Sydney, Australia
