The 44 annual Transpac Yacht Race is well under way. Before the start a tribute was paid to Wendy Siegal, a successful competitor and promoter of recent Transpacs, who was found drowned last Thursday near her ship the Willow Wind in Downtown Long Beach at Rainbow Harbor.

Pyewacket, Roy E. Disneys 94 foot boat has been extensively modified
to be even faster and has returned to battle for the win.

Pyewacket is in the third picture down, it is the one with the very tall gray sail. It took the lead today, they are just past the 1/2 way point. Randy sent me an email today, he is getting all set up to try to get pictures of the ships arriving in Hawaii.

I love the Hugo Boss one also. These pictures really are amazing. Karin gave ma a CD filled with so many it was difficult to choose which pictures to use.
