Introducting... Mr.Perfect, Captain and First Mate! Destination: HAWAII
Rich Trawick and Jeff Weaver are embarking on a sailing trip aboard a 27 foot Swedish-made Albin Vega (named Mr.Perfect) to Hawaii and back, leaving May 28 from Point Roberts, Washington, and returning mid-August! Visit this blog (updated by Lyndsay--no internet for these guys!) for updates via SPOT, so you can check out Mr.Perfect's geographic locations as they edge towards Maui. Also, updates will be posted via Lyndsay, Rich's lady-friend/wife, as she hears from Rich through satellite text messages and telepathic mind zoom!

Mr.Perfect docked in lovely Point Roberts, Washington on N Dock, where the people are awesome and the appetizers flow freely!
