They called from their cell phones at 0345 and were 50 miles from the finish. Moving along fairly slowly at about 9 knots. It may get a little faster, but their best guess is arriving about 0900. Some BS fans will be out at the finish on the escort boat to greet them, then the parties start! First it'll be their welcoming party on the F Dock as soon as they get off the boat. Then they'll have time to rest today before Hawaii Yacht Club's party this evening followed by a party each day until most of the crew heads home.
Oh yeah. In between, they'll be working on getting the boat partially dismantled for its ride back on a ship.
P.S. Did you hear they caught Dorado (mahi mahi) last night? It turns out it was actually THREE Dorado, two of them at once!

Glad you made it! Been following your progress every day, and of course wishing I was out there too.
Had a dust storm on Mars to worry about, short of sun when you were short of wind...

Aloha and Congrats on a great race! Sorry we couldn't make it to HI for the festivities. Steve, if you run into the folks at Reinrag2, say hello - Darren Garnier was a college roommate.
See you all soon.
