Aloha everyone, what a great day of sailing, 10-15 kt of breeze on the beam, clear skies, great crew, fresh fish when ever you want, good food, the life of a sailor! Did I mention it is hot, real hot. We can'r open the hatches because of splashes, and even if we did, the air is still hot. Also, we have now lost the use of both handlines, which we just had rebuilt, and our favorite lures, due to poor crimping. And to make it worse, I thought I had the spare parts to rebuild, NOT! We'll bring out the pole tomorrow and pick up our spares in Papeete'. We did catch a nice small ahi this morning, ad Randy rendered it into a fine meal, steaming it with vegetables on a bed of pasta. Favorite time of day now is late afternoon where we get out from under the awning into the fresh breeze, as the Sun hides behind a few clouds. Our days run should start to increase as we have "turned" the corner, made all the easting we need and are heading straight to Ahe. We are a few dyas past halfway, about 200nm from the equator. We will celebrate there, as I expect a visitor. That is all for now, Aloha, David
