The crew (both boat and shore) need to do quite a bit of travel in support of the race.
- Return flight from Santa Barbara to home Sunday June 24 (Garth and Jon and Colin)
- Flight to Santa Barbara on Saturday June 30 (Bob and Jon)
- Flight from Long Beach on Sunday July 1 (Bob and Jon)
- Or maybe I rent a car in SB and drive up with whoever wants to drive, then drive back down a week later with all the HI-CA return trip delivery gear. That will eliminate a SF-LB trip in July to load the container, since Bob and I can shuttle the delivery gear down with the boat.
- Flight to Long Beach July Friday July 6 or EARLY July 7
- Flight from Honolulu around July 25-27
- The cheapest HI return flights seem to be on ATA. Around $480 from Oakland.
- Bob and Shana have bought their tickets and are returning July 25
- Jon and Heather have bought their tickets and are returning July 27
In Hawaii, the hotel of choice seems to be the Hilton Hawaiian, where we can get Garden Rooms in the Kalia Tower (at the $160 or $200/night double occupancy Transpac rate).
- I think that it’s possible for crew to stay on the boat, which is a less costly option
- Heather and Jon will probably stay on the boat from the 25th-27th
No research has been done on the Long Beach hotel situation.
