Float Plan: Departure from St. Francis YC at high tide on or about May 3rd, weather permitting. Outside the gate we will take a course of approximately 221 degrees true to our first waypoint at 29.59 degrees North X 129.59 degrees West. From there our course should be 248 degrees true to waypoint #2 at 25.59 North X 139.59 West. We will continue on course 248 from there to waypoint #3 at 22.02 North X 150.01 West. From Waypoint #3 we will proceed to our expected landfall at 20.29 North X 155.54 West. Our first planned stop is at Kawaihae. We customarily take our time so we expect to cover the roughly 2500 miles in 30 days which will put us between Maui and the Big Island the first week in June.

After June 30th, if we haven't been heard from, The Coast guard will want to know:

The sailing yacht "Lealea" is an Albin Vega 27, USCG No.1167966, call sign WDD7505. She is equipped with VHF radio, AIS receiver and EPIRB. Lealea is 27 feet on deck, sloop rigged with white sails, navy canvas dodger and spray cloths. She has a grey hull with grey and white decks, dark navy transom and royal blue bottom paint.

I may or may not be back to post here before we leave depending on opportunity and availability of WiFi.

Aloha a hui ho!

Lealea crew, hope you have a great sail, that the wind comes always from behind
and in a moderate manner.

keep us posted.

Cheers

Roger

Chuck and Laura,
Best of luck with the wind, seas, boat and health, plus I hope the seasick pills work. Or, is it the patch. In any event, may you not suffer as much as you did on the trip east. Too bad you never made it down to San Diego. I was looking forward to sitting down with you two over a cup of tea.
Fair winds and enjoy the ride,

Hello Vegaterians,
This is a repeat because I\'m still worried that not everyone got the message
that the PNW Vega Rendezvous has been changed FROM Aug. 26 & 27


ToJuly 1st and 2nd--Friday and Saturday nights.
If you can stay a third night, Sunday night, it\'ll be fun, because the Marina
sponsors a fireworks show on the night of the 3rd.


Here\'s the link for the marina to make reservations on-line--which seems to be
less reliable than phoning.
and the phone for the marina: 360-376-3037

I\'d make the reservations fairly soon since this will be a holiday weekend, and
likely fill up early.
All the best,
Sheila
