Reality Check
People keep asking me what worries me the most about this trip. I don’t really know what to tell them, because really, I am not worried about anything. I am excited to see where this trip will take us, and I am looking forward to pushing the limits of myself and the sport, but worried is an emotion that hasn’t really come into play…yet.
Sometimes though, situations come along that transform my excitement and anticipation into nervousness, and our meeting with Wayne was one of those times. Wayne helped my navigate the Molokai channel during the race last year, and has himself sailed all of the Hawaiian channels. He spoke to us in depth about the Alenuihaha Channel, the stretch of water that separates the Big Island and Maui, explaining the dangers that the winds and the currents present. Here is a small part of the conversation that pretty much provides a snapshot of the entire conversation.
