We had our belated halfway party last night with a swig each of tequila and lots of laughs, even as we continued to send it. Skipper Sheehan said a few words to acknowledge how hard we've been pushing the boat and how much still had to go in this great ocean race to paradise. We also toasted our friends on Denali to acknowledge all of their work and preparation to sail the Transpac only to be dealt a cruel hand of cards after the start.

Yesterday was Skipper Chris Sheehan's birthday. He didn't even know we knew it was his birthday as he didn't mention anything and we all kept quiet. Imagine his shock at the surprise birthday dinner-party we threw him hundreds of miles offshore in the Pacific Ocean. He was super touched by laminated/waterproofed cards from loved ones that we smuggled on board. We each had a single Budweiser, the King of Beers, to toast him, which helped wash down the Freeze-dried Chocolate Pudding with Marshmallows. We all chipped in and got him wanted for his birthday-- the boat in "full send" mode with big numbers. Slingshot Engaged.
