Previous"Congratulations to you for persevering when circumstances turned against you. You've demonstrated fine seamanship and self-sufficiency. It's inspiring." - Clyde - S/V Cahoots - Mukilteo, WA
"Every sailor who attempts the Singlehanded Transpac deserves our utmost respect and awe. Sometimes one of you enters the realm of the heroic. Ruben, you have taken a dreadful bit of bad luck and somehow turned it into an epic journey. Your ingenuity, tenacity and bravery are truly inspiring. Both you and Robbie are my heroes and I'm super proud to know you. Go Sparky and rock on Ruben!!" - Sylvia (SSS RC) Seaberg
"Yeah Ruben and Sparky!! It just won't be the same now that our daily doses of vicarious adventure, trial and triumph are concluding. But you did triumph, and the whole sailing community cheers for you and deeply respects you! You exemplify the model of the solo sailor with enduring self reliance and tenacity. Congratulations!" - Paul N.
