Avion is a Bianca 414, built by the Bianca boatyard in Denmark in 1980. Thus, the name of this blog is “avionbianca.” The motivation for starting this blog is the Pacific Cup 2014, and we start on Tuesday, July 8, 2104 at 11:30 AM, in front of the St. Francis Yacht Club.
The crew consists of 6 in total. In no particular sequence, we are as follows: David Lyon, Nico Columb, Jon/Juan Fowkes, Kent Bliven, Jon Dillow, navigator, and Tom Abbott, skipper. Jon/Juan has been keeping a journal during the past 18 months as we have been sailing as a team, and will be one of the primary contributors to this blog. Between the two of us, we will post something everyday during the race to give family and friends some idea of what it is like to sail from San Francisco to Hawaii, over 2000 miles in a race.
You are welcome to check the blog anytime, as we will be starting this week to build it out, with posting, pages for pictures, and links to the Pacific CUp 2014 race. If you would like to get an email with the latest post to the blog, we will be setting up a subscription process for family and friends to register with this blog service. So, stay tuned.
