Day minus 14

Meeting the "Puddle Jumpers"
There will be about 15 sailboats that will make
the crossing this year from PV to New Zealand (NZ) . This is know as the “puddle jump”. Several boats always maintain contact in case one needs help.
Mark has arranged with:
Dave aboard No Regrets is sailing with his son Pat and Pat’s girlfriend Carly. Dave was a fireman in Ca;ifornia and Pat was in college when they decided to make a trip down the California coast. They met Mark in San Diego and extended the trip to PV. By the time they got here, they had already made up their minds to go further.
Jim is sailing Cardea with his son Ryan. They are from Michigan and have planned this trip for years.
Mark says there will probably be about five boats in our group.
