Re: Hurricane Season is Upon Us

It certainly looks active out there.  We will be fine.  The last Hurrican to hit Hawaii was Kauii 20 years ago or so.  They peter out by the time they get up to 20 degrees north.

Farallon Islands Race 2012

A race that will not be forgotten. The mist and spray of Pacific swell is sweet but powerful, never to be underestimated. Prayers to those who lost their lives and the family and friends that remain ever present with heavy hearts. We completed the race and returned to RYC, somber, tired but hopeful that survivors would be found. As the tragedy unfolded 5 of the 8 crew on Low Speed Chase lost their lives.

I still love sailing and being out on the ocean but realize its natural state, while beautiful and seductive, can turn to hell and fury unexpectedly with horrible consequences.

RIP- Low Speed Chase
