John and crew left Honolulu at 8:23pm PDT on Tuesday, Aug. 26. The transponder hasn't been activated yet, but we should be able to see their signal on Thursday. It takes a while to get the signal synced up. The good news is that conditions should be milder for the first week than they were on the 1st return trip. This will give them a chance to more easily settle into their routines.
There are 4 total on the return crew, including John. The other folks are Jay Bryan, a friend from our yacht club, and Scott and Tarnia. Scott was refered to us by another friend from our yacht club, and Tarnia's info I found on the Pacific Cup crew list. We were VERY lucky that these folks had the time available and were able to get away on very short notice. It looks like everyone will get along well.
Thanks to everyone for their continued good wishes. I don't know how often we'll get updates from John and crew, but I'll post them as they come in. The link to the tracking site is on this blog site as well as a link to Tarnia's blog site. Tarnia has a personal transponder and her uncle will be updating her site as he gets position updates.
