ALOHA TO ALL: We got off the ship and felt like kissing the earth! What a day & night! The waves were 5mm or 15-16ft with sustained winds of 55knots! It was like an "E" ride at Disneyland-for the oldtimers. Dennis Conner practiced in HI waters prior to coming to Fremantle, on 'Stars & Stripes' Our friends Ken & Karen went down for the race-hard to believe that was 1987! when we were in St Maarten on the Dawn Princess we were able to do a Regatta and be on 'Stars & Stripes' so a 'shout-out' to friends Pat & Suzie living there!
