Transpac
Charmed Life: Record-Setting Women In The Transpac
They were "two crazy women," old enough to know better and fueled at times by cookies and milk, but they made history in the classic Transpacific Yacht Race from Los Angeles to Hawaii.
It was almost an inadvertent achievement. The voyage began simply as something of a homecoming trip. At the time they entered, little did Patricia Garfield and Diane Murray know that they would become the first women to sail double-handed in the Transpac, one of the oldest ocean races in the world. And it was all aboard a Catalina 470
Tears flowed at the finish line. Garfield and Murrary had just completed eight hours in the boisterous Molokai Channel, bouncing "like a cork in a whirlwind." As they neared the end of the race aboard Charmed Life, the summer sun rose over Diamond Head. Hawaiian music, leis and mai-tais and a crowd of about 50 greeted them at the dock.
