There are 90 of the fastest sailing yachts from around the world participating. The fastest boats leave last (today) so they all should show up at the finish line (Diamond Head) within days of each other to celebrate and have even more fun. Mary will fly over to greet them when they finish. I'm staying home with 3 dang dogs working!
Like wrestling there happen to be only 2 boats total in his class, the other boat came from Poland..
Garrett didn't have to cut too much weight for the race. They are currently winning the class but it's close. Kinda funny to call it a race at 9 MPH and top speeds of maybe 30 MPH.
Latest on board with Garrett - Celestra: https://2019.transpacyc.com/ne
Tracking Garrett kinda fun to check in periodically: http://yb.tl/transpac2019#
Comanche (fastest monohull in the world currently) came from Australia, she broke all the records last race, Celestra is the white catamaran Gars on... we got invited to examine Comanche before the race, 100' carbon fiber and titanium to keep her light and fast, not a comfortable boat, just made to go fast. She is stunning to see in person.
2200 miles except all the boat are heading further south to catch more wind currently adding miles to the race..
Will share some great pics when he gets back..
Joe, Mary & the dolphins along the way....
