Aloha everyone, all is well on the good ship Ho'onanea. The crew is doing great. We are all getting along very well, providing interesting stories and comradery. The seas were a little smoother today and Ho'o was averaging 7+kt. Hopefully, that will reflect on tomorrows noon to noon. We have about 500nm to go, and hope to arrive off of Ahe mid day Wed. We do hope they will have some water for us. We will recoup, explore, clean, repair and then head off again for the final 250nm to Papeete. Crew saw a pod of porpoise today, that is the only wildlife, other than the fish we catch. The good news is that we have seen almost no trash! BTW, thanks Cathy for the Perrier, we are enjoying it. Noodle, let us know Summer circuit results. That pretty much raps it up until tomorrow. Aloha, David
