Since I started sailing back and forth across the Pacific Ocean I've picked up a few race flags. On my first trip in 1992 the boat I was on "Arianna" did the daily roll call and communications but was not entered in the race. If they got a flag it is probably still with the boat. In 1994 I did the Pacific Cup race on "Sonata". If we got a flag for the Transpac race I did in 1997 on "Ka Ula Lani" it is also probably still with the boat. When I finally did the Pacific Cup race on my own boat "Cirrus" in 1998 I got to keep the flag. The same goes for the 2000 race. We did the race in 2004 but the flag is missing at the moment. We do have the flags for 2006 and 2008. The Transpac 2007 flag is especially nice, not only because it is big, but also because it shows that we were the winner of Division "Aloha B".
Over time we've also accumulated a few yacht club burgees. The one at the top is for Kaneohe YC here in Hawaii, where we are currently senior members. The one below is for Richmond YC in the SF Bay area where we were senior members for quite a while, and are currently listed as non-resident members. The next burgee is for Aloha YC in Pearl Harbor, where I once got an award. After that is the Hawaii Women's Yacht Racing Association burgee where (I think) I'm still an honorary member. The bottom burgee is from Waikiki YC where we were members for a time. The big burgee in the upper right that I skipped over is for the Pacific Cup YC.
By the way, counting some deliveries I've done, this was my 15th time across the Pacific Ocean.

My brother is really into racing, and wants some racing flags for his birthday. I wasn't sure what to look for at first, but this gave me some great insights. I can't wait to see what he does with them when he opens them up.

Problem: HP Printer not connecting to my laptop.
I had an issue while connecting my 2 year old HP printer to my brother's laptop that I had borrowed for starting my own business. I used a quick google search to fix the problem but that did not help me.
I then decided to get professional help to solve my problem. After having received many quotations from various companies, i decided to go ahead with Online Tech Repair (www.onlinetechrepairs.com).
Reasons I chose them over the others:
1) They were extremely friendly and patient with me during my initial discussions and responded promptly to my request.
2) Their prices were extremely reasonable.
3) They were ready and willing to walk me through the entire process step by step and were on call with me till i got it fixed.
How did they do it
1) They first asked me to state my problem clearly and asked me a few questions. This was done to detect any physical connectivity issues with the printer.
2) After having answered this, they confirmed that the printer and the laptop were functioning correctly.
3) They then, asked me if they could access my laptop remotely to troubleshoot the problem and fix it. I agreed.
4) One of the tech support executives accessed my laptop and started troubleshooting.
5) I sat back and watched as the tech support executive was navigating my laptop to spot the issue. The issue was fixed.
6) I was told that it was due to an older version of the driver that had been installed.
My Experience
I loved the entire friendly conversation that took place with them. They understood my needs clearly and acted upon the solution immediately. Being a technical noob, i sometimes find it difficult to communicate with tech support teams. It was a very different experience with the guys at Online Tech Repairs. You can check out their website www.onlinetechrepairs.com or call them on 1-914-613-3786.
Would definitely recommend this service to anyone who needs help fixing their computers.
Thanks a ton guys. Great Job....!!
