Hi! I am the skipper of Valkyrie, the boat that met them with various family members on the Hawaii side. I have to say that greeting these marvelous, accomplished women was THE highlight of my summer and remains one of the most moving memories ever. I regularly support the race by greeting on the HI side, but I was SO STOKED to get to guide THIS particular team in! You girls are awesome, and the daily Daisy and I send our love and best with all three of you always! xoxo
I got to this from being prompted to read an article in Outsider about the ex- US marine Madsen, who passed away doing this trip solo in June of 2020. I'm impressed and motivated by your journey. The only thing I've done is a 400km charity bikeride for peace in Israel (that was a highly supported ride. Cushy). I'm very very impressed by your journey. I'm quite terrified of the ocean myself, but last year, I did have a chance to visit Oahu for almost a month. I found the ocean terrifying, of course, but the ocean was basically closed because it was the middle of Winter. Anyway, I'm impressed and inspired to train for something.... Amazing job ladies, just amazing!
I do not know what language you are speaking but, your take is they are all lesbians. You are wrong but who would care? Apparently you. Sorry you are such a bigot. My niece rowed in the Great Pacific Race and I do not think she is gay. You are an asset.
