4) TransPac 2011 delivery e/m's 2

Gib,

I am interested in the delivery to Long Beach.  Please keep me in mind and forward my info to the delivery crew if it is OK with you.

Thanks. 

Dave,

That would be good as we could have three of you guys going round trip.  You guys will be more one with the ship than me by the time we start the race.  Bill is the delivery skipper & then the navigator for the race.  Bill, meet Dave & Dave meet Bill.

Aloha,
   gib

Hi David,

Welcome aboard!  It will be nice to have someone aboard who's familiar
with the boat.  Our tentative date to leave Honolulu is April 20th.
Mark Svenson is a friend of mine who's also going.  He's a good guy and
great sailor.  There will be a total of four of us.  I have a friend
from from Chicago who wants to go, but hasn't committed.  I've done
the Mac with him several times.

Would you fill me in on your sailing experience?  I know you've done
the Transpac and will be going with us next year.

Regards,

Bill

Bill,


I attached a resume. 


I have 19k+ offshore miles and only 800 of it on multi-hulls.  Yes, I am very familiar with Chasch Mer in all positions and for the '07 TP I shared fore-deck.


I have not done the HI to CA route and for some crazy reason I want to do it and this looks to be a good opp.

Hey Guys,
Attached is my draft schedule of events & what needs to be done before the
race gets under way.  Please take a look and give me your thoughts.

Note: These Positions may change.
Watch systems under consideration:
Two six-hour watches during the day – 0600 to 1200, and 1200 to 1800.  Meals at watch changes.  Oldest watch does meal prep, new watch does cleanup.

Three four-hour watches at night – 1800-2200, 2200- 0200, 0200-0600.  This way the day watches are alternated, so one watch doesn’t suffer all the hot afternoon watches in the latter stages of the race. 

And, one adjustment: as the race goes on, dawn comes later and later, so the 0600-1200 watch becomes another night watch for the first one to three hours.  It’s supposed to be a day watch.  So, to adjust for our westing during the race, at approximately 1/3rd of the way, one of the two watches would stand an extra hour during the normally 4-hour 1800-2200 watch.  Then, at about 2/3rds of the way, the other watch would do the same thing.

Each time one of these longer watches is scheduled, we can adjust the CA time of the watch schedule (e.g., 0700-1300, etc.), or just adjust our watches to reflect the effective local time, and keep the watch times the same (e.g., 0600-1200, etc.).
