62 knots? Incredible.
Yeah, I'm not saying the weather doesn't get rough south of Santa Barbara, but everytime I've been on the ocean out here, N. CA waters always seem...
Very cool. Thanks :)
Yeah, every video I've seen on the trip shows a pretty calm voyage. Almost like sailing on a lake with some chop, but no white caps. Just gentle...

Thanks for the replies. NYCAP; yeah, I really have had second thoughts about soloing it across the Pacific. I remember when I used to read SAIL...
I've seen a few videos of people crossing the Pacific from CA to Hawaii, but they the boats seem to be these small 20 footers, your standard yawl...
