Yep, crew and I had our first chat yesterday, Cal Offshore week next year will be our "big" race, then pencilling in 2024

Welcome back! Kahoots hit the dock 02:00 Sat morn, 18 days. All safe, boat showing a bit of wear but all Good.

Yep. It’s not been an easy return. The high keeps going north, the boat at 38n are STILL chasing the high…

Folks love to bitch about conflict. In other news, the fleet is not setting records getting home. Most are finally flopping onto port to head home, but are headed, even up at 38north... The high is even above that

Thanks man! And to you guys!

We ran Kahoots in ORR Div 1...

I think my only real question is: do I do it again in 2 years? My boat feels a bit slow for a Transpac race, but is a good competitive boat in the PacCup. Damn, that was fun.

Swing by and say hello! We got in tonight. I’m still buzzing but great race. Really challenging for a first time navigator. God damn round down was costly. 2am. Pinned down. Fuck. But we lived.

I don’t have the stones to upgrade 2 days before the start…

Agreed - there should be enough to get off the coast and it builds. Friday looks primed for a fast start for the fast boats.

yep - will have to remeasure again I suppose.

Hell, I'm running the damn model 3x day!

The monday starts are definitely looking at a challenge. Might clear up by Thursday, but still too far out to have high confidence...

Can't say about this years, but when we weighed, we were told it was a calibrated scale. Of course, then we got ORR measured so they measured freeboard and line drawings. The differences between the 2 were minimal, once I corrected an error made by the office on transposing a couple numbers...

must be all those helium balloons!

Division D is kinda a hodgepodge of heavier boats and ULDB - but looking at the splits, I couldn't come up with anything better... I think we're the slowest downwind boat in our Div - so this is gonna be a challenge! The weather is also getting very "interesting" in that the high is getting...

Well, it's getting real - put our return gear in the container today...

Welcome in advance!

We'll be there. Middle of the pack slower boat compared to the ultralights. Probably PHRF division, although we're right on the border of ORR. Probably better for us to be in PHRF as we can surf a bit on occasion, but that's it. Last thing on the checklist is ensuring a good return crew, the...
