Earthrace - Charleston, South Carolina

So the Earthrace begins.....

After travelling for around 43 hours, we have arrived in Charleston, South Carolina...

It truly has been the most amazing trip so far... and its only just started! I have met so many people on this trip so far and every single one of them has been amazing!

Our travels consisted of

5 hours - Auckland to Tahiti (3 hour stop off)
8 hours - Tahiti to Los Angeles (8 hour stop off)
1 hour - Los Angeles to Sunny San Diego! (8 hour stop off)
4.5 hours - San Diego to Philidelphia (1 hour stop off)
50 mins - Phili to Charlotte (1 hour stop off)
1.2 hours - Charlotte to Hilton Head Island, South Carolina
4 hours - drive to apartment in Charleson, South Carolina

So, as you can see, it was a bit of a long trip. But, the people we met... man! In San Diego, we had our dinner and drinks brought for us by an amazing couple Andy and Roxanne from San Diego.... thankyou so much guys! you rock! I also met and became friends with Huanhuan from China, Chuck from Orlando, Jaxin from Florida, Connie in San Diego and also Jessie from North Carolina..... I love America already!! Everyone is so friendly!!!

The boat gets lifted out tomorrow morning and then we start work on it... I will be filming bits of it but also working on the drive shaft... should be interesting but i am a fast learner. Devon and Ryan cooked an amazing dinner tonight consisting of tacos and salad and also a bowl of beans that looked like poo haha. Tomorrow, everyone is giving up something or doing something to change their lives in some way..... John and Devon (Yoda) are going on a cleansing diet which sounds interesting... may join them in that.

Overall its been a perfect start to whats going to be an amazing trip... Cant wait to see whats in store for tomorrow!
