Reports from the Fringe
Field Reporter Billy Bob Boyer talks TransPac

Transpac has begun, and we're going to provide you (hopefully) with daily reports from the voyage across the pond. Bob Boyes, aka Boyer, is arguably the finest downwind helmsman we've ever sailed with. Smooth, fast, consistent and just wickedly good, he's one of the hired guns on David Janes brand new Andrews 52 "J-Bird". He'll tell his tall tales to us on an irregular basis. Or is that irregular tales on a regular basis?

Seth Radow's also brand new Sydney 40 "Bull" left yesterday. Seth, one of the brightest new stars of boat owners in So Cal, will try to squeeze into his nav station for updates as well.
