Hi Will,

In June I ended up sailing my own boat from Hawaii to Vancouver. It took us 21 days to get to Port Hardy, very different weather and wind conditions, some easy and some not so easy days…, but very good trip overall.

Hydrovane performed very good, we did manual steering less than 5% of the time. Your piece of equipment managed to sail us through 28-32 knots of steady beam winds and very confused rough seas between the Maui and Big Island for approximately 6 hours. Few times we recorded speeds of 14-14.5 knots!

From your blog it was very nice to see pictures of familiar places in French Polynesia. We did just about what you guys did, including hike to the top of Bora Bora, we also did not hire anybody to help us with it.

Regards, Kosta
