"Basin" has just arrived at Waikiki Yacht Club in Honolulu, Hawaii,
after single-handing from Tahiti in a Vega 27, "Poco Loco". She is an
extremely pleasant woman and I have had only a short conversation with
her. I will attempt to get her on the "net" on one of my office
computers in the next few days. She has quite a few stories to tell.
She found the Vega, "Poco Loco", at a marina in Panama, and if I have
the story straight spent 104 days rounding the "Horn". She did have
another woman aboard for that passage, but was knocked down in
Antarctica after a collision with a container or other submerged
object. More to follow when I can get her to a computer. Aloha
