Singlehanded Transpac 2010

Här är en cool video med Ronnie Simpson som körde Singlehanded Transpac med sin Mount Gay 30 “Warrior’s Wish”. 15 dagar och 2,120 distans från San Francisco till Kauai.

So, uh, yeah. It’s over. I’m in Kauai after completing my first Singlehanded Transpac. Was it worth it? Yes. Was it everything I thought it would be? No. it was more. Was crossing the line in Kauai the best single moment in my life? It’s a distinct possibility. Finishing this race, in that very moment, was the realization of a dream. Two years ago, this goal of singlehanding to Hawaii nearly killed me and it took everything I owned, stranding me in a foreign land with nothing. Except for the dream. And again this year, this goal of going solo across an ocean took a year out of my life, threw me for a loop, depleted my checking account and actually started adding grey hairs to my 25 year old head. But now that i’ve done it, it seems like the time, money and effort involved in every facet of achieving this dream were all great investments.
