Transpac Onboard Episode 5 © Transpac Race

We check back in with Stan Honey, navigator of 88-foot Lucky, on the heels of a 24-hour 380-mile run.

Stan shares some thoughts on the decisions they made around the weather and how they're keeping up boat speed as they prepare to gybe towards the finish.

We also get a glimpse of some more competitors enjoying the downwind trades as they close in on Hawaii.
