Aloha everyone, what a pleasant day! Seems like lots has happened since I last wrote. After motoring much of yesterday, and seeing no improvement on battery charge according to my meter, I was a bit concerned. Fred was driving, by hand, and called me up about 10:30. After awhile, decided to go back to motoring and went back to bed. As our later, when I gor up for my watch, everything read BACK TO NORMAL, what a relief! The winds remained light so we motored into the night and day. I made some bacon and eggs to celebrate and then worked on water maker again, to no avail. It seems to want to work, but water is not flowing to it. Oh well, we'll be fine without. The winds remained light so we continued motoring, skys clear, so we made it laundry day. In this high humidity, takes all day for things to dry, but at least they weren't salty. We had blackened fish and cup/noodles for lunch (Speaking of Noodle, we didn't fish today, in case you were wondering) After we brought the laundry in in the late afternoon, we were able to sail again, most pleasantly. I put together a meal of roast beef, onion, corn and mashed potatoes. Since it had remained so nice, we decided to make it a movie night. We got everything set up in the cockpit, including the pop corn, when Mr. Blackie paid us a visit, Strong winds and rain out of nowhere! I guess Woodie will have to wait. We had to send R to the foredeck as headsail wasn't rolling properly and jib sheet had gotten tangled. it blew and poured for about 20 minutes and has been pleasant since.
Tomorrow we should have all the easting we need and will start heading straight to Ahe,yea! Aloha, David
