A NEW CATAMARAN SETS SAIL FOR
HAWAII...RSS Hawaii is pleased to announce
that their new catamaran, the Kaimaka
or ?eyes of
the sea? in Hawaiian, will arrive shortly on the Kohala
Coast. The catamaran was custom-built by Gold
Coast Yachts according to our specifications.
Captain George Pitts along with experienced sailors
John Nommessen and Earl O'Neill
left the harbor in St. Croix on December 8th for their
long journey
through the Panama Canal to the shores of The Big
Island. Captain Pitts communicates almost daily with
us via e-mail on a laptop with satellite hook-up.
The red star denotes Kaimaka's position as of today:
Here's Captain Pitts' latest update, "Today has good
wind but
heavy o'cast skies with a chance of rain. Making
good time, though, 190 miles again. Starting to keep
a more westerly course today as the current sweeps
us a little to the north. Position:16* 33'N/126* 08'
W. Sailing reefed (translation = sail area reduced)
and
still making 9+ kph but smoother."
If conditions permit, Captain Pitts expects to arrive
on The Big Island this weekend!

ARUBA'S A WRECK (AND PROUD OF IT)...
The tropical island of Aruba received 2nd
Place for "Top Wreck Diving" in Scuba Diving
Magazine's Readers Choice Awards.
The Aruba Watersports Association (AWA) assisted in
creating the lastest wreck site. After sitting dormant
at the airport for nearly 15 year's one of Air Aruba's
planes is now "seaborne." AWA
succeeded in making the old YS-11 airplane, "Trupial"
a new dive site for Aruba. This latest piece of Aruban
history is now at the bottom of the sea, located
between Renaissance Island at the Aruba shoreline
and frequently visited by Red Sail Sports dive boats.

sponsors
of this popular local event and provided various
prizes including logo race caps for participants. Bill

eyeball-to-eyeball with a Stingray.
- There's no sand where you live except for in
playgrounds.

your
bathtub.
