Nick Jaffe Arrives in Hawaii

Solo sailor Nick Jaffe, who left Half Moon Bay on June 7 and who we featured in this month’s issue of Latitude 38, arrived in Honolulu, Hawaii, on July 5 aboard his Contessa 26 Constellation. Jaffe blogged and Twittered his way across the Pacific, to the delight of hundreds — if not thousands — of folks following his progress toward his homeland of Australia.

The 27-day voyage was longer than an average Pacific crossing — Constellation was becalmed for a frustrating number of days — but, from his posts, Jaffe clearly enjoyed himself. Read them for yourself — and keep up with Jaffe’s plans — at www.bigoceans.com.
