After years of contemplating (and even attempting) to do a long voyage, I finally decided to sign-up for the 2014 edition of the Pacific Cup. The Pacific Cup is called “the FUN race to Hawaii”. The race will start from San Francisco in July 2014 and will end in Kāneʻohe bay on the West side the island of O’ahu.

The Pacific Cup is seeing as a less competitive race than the Transpac which starts from Los Angeles. The drawback for Med Viking and its crew is that it will require us to sail up wind to the San Francisco bay. The benefit is that Hawaii is a bit closer to San Francisco than it is to Los Angeles.

Our good friends and boat neighbors Bob and Dianna are already signed up to do the race. Speaking of race we are going to be in the newly (for 2014) cruising division. This is going to be all but a race for us!
