Well the day has come. I am getting my first (and probably last) oppurtunity to make a bluewater passage. I am leaving for the great state of HI. on Tuesday morning 7/25/2000 and will be spending a couple of days on the Island of Oahu.We will be leaving on Friday 7/28/2000 for San Diego, CA. aboard a Santa Cruz 52 (s/v Warpath). If communications permit, I will be sending e-mail to the website indicating our position and activities aboard on a daily basis. If there is not e-mail capabilities we will be putting together a journal upon my return.Aloha
