Today we encountered one potential issue with our charging system that runs all of the electronics on the boat (including the beer fridge). We ran some diagnostics and THOUGHT it was a minor issue. However after working 7 hours on determining that we have a regulator blow out, trying to work a fix that would last for 10-12 more days without starting a fire or other electrical issues, captain and crew decided for safety sake to return to home port.
It was not an easy decision and was made with great disappointment by all however sailing the ocean is always a challenge and safety is paramount with family and good friends on board. We just had our half way party and are on back to SF.
So now, race activity is gone, working on the 2010 Pac Cup theme song, even though we're not an official participant in the race. Team Tiki Blue, looks forward to many more races in the future.
