Follow the crossing on line


We will have plenty of safety equipment on this voyage, but no internet. We will be checking in to a land base by Satellite phone daily. And we will be checking in on the ham radio net. The Pacific Seafarers net will post our position on their website. So if you want to follow the voyage you can go to
http://www.pacsea.org/ then click on current roll call

we will be listed as
KA7IMO/She’s Yar/Ann/4POB/ Honolulu – San Diego

This will only give you our position and weather. You will know that if we checked in we are OK. If we don’t check in don’t panic, just pray harder. It could be any number of things that keep us from the radio schedule that are not emergencies.

Meet the Crew

The delivery of the Hylas 42 to San Diego is coming together.

The rigging arrived and has been installed.
