Making 6.2 knts at 150 degrees.
Aloha everyone! We made 150 nm our first day. Motored about 10 hours last night thru the lee of the big is and then the wind slowly filled in out of the east with flat seas. We've had every sailors dream conditions for most of the day doing about 7-7.5 kn with flat seas. Has picked a bit more now and is somewhat bumpy, but we are staying dry.WE still have full main and have partially rolled up the head sail. Fred and Randy saw some fish jumping in the distance, but we have yet to put line in as we have so much food. Crew is doing well, as is the boat. (She is a bit creaky down below, which makes it harder to sleep). Had a shower on the bow today, felt great. Not much other news. Crew enjoyed my beef/cabbage dinner. Aloha, David
