It looks like we are finally ready. Last night Dianna cooked a few meals with the water from the harbor (yes really the water from the harbor) after it had gone through the water maker.

We went out for a test of the emergency rudder – everything was fine. Back at the dock, Sylvia, the race chief inspector, came on board to verify that we had addressed our inspection deficiencies. We are now cleared into the race!

Ready to go!

Last night was the Alaska Airlines party. Guillaume, one of our crew, won a round trip ticket to anywhere Alaska flies! Very nice.

The Pacific Cup village is very nice. Everybody has been very welcoming.
