Last Prep

"A sense of marvel drifts to me —
Of morning on a purple sea,
And fragrant islands far away."

— George Sterling.

And with the above and other thoughts, we depart SF for the fragrant isles of Hawaii in a few hours. On Monday we finished all the prep to get ready for our Tuesday morning PacCup start. The provisions are all loaded, the water tanks filled, the lines ready, the spare parts stowed, the sails staged, the families informed, the batteries charged, and (of course) the blog updated. Below are a few shots from the day.

Aloha!

The crew, happy to be done with all the prep!

Here is a tour of our cabin, with most everything packed.

And, here is a tour of how Bullet looks from the outside, just about 12 hours from departure.
