Today we bade farewell to our intrepid crew Bruce who, knowing full well what he was getting into, helped us sail Cinnabar 3,000 miles across the Pacific Ocean. No doubt about it, our trip was a heck of a lot more pleasant with Bruce on board to lend his expertise and experience. Plus, we got to sleep more with an extra person on watch which is always a huge plus. Bruce returns to the SF Bay Area to do it all over again in 2 months, but on the 2016 Pacific Cup Race from SF to Hawaii (on Hobie 33 AERO). Thanks Bruce and good luck in the race!

| Landfall at last! Beautiful Taiohae Bay in Nuku Hiva. |

| Bruce's last night, happy hour with local legend Rose (here since '72) at her restaurant. And just-arrived singlehander John from the UK (40 days from Panama and no squalls!). We meet lots of interesting people. |

Congrats on your journey. It was great to read about the challenges and joys along the way!
