I bought my Contessa 26 in January of this year and I am hoping to do the Single-handed Transpac next July 2008.  That's from San Francisco to Kauai.
 
 I'm not 100% certain that I'll be able to compete in the race. but if I do I'd love to send some contributing pictures about Dana Point, where I keep my boat and Catalina Island off Southern California.
