Well, it looks like we'll be ready to go in a few hours. Yep, time for another attempt. This time we are a crew of three. My friend, Steve Jacobsen, Scott Saulovich, and myself. This is our third attempt, and it is the third of September. Sure hope all the threes gives us an edge. After all, 333 is rather biblical. Aside from having a strong team (Steve did the race with us, and Scott proved himself last delivery attempt) we have Monty. Who's Monty? Monty is our windvane self steering unit which we deployed on our last attempt North, and worked rather well. We'll also give Music a traditional Hawaiian boat blessing just before we leave.
Wish us luck, we could really use it.

PS - we don't know the state of the battery in the transponder so I will delay activating it until we are further out in the Pacific. I'll be sending Gail our daily positions.
