Ho'onanea and her crew are doing fine. She has been blasting along at 7.5 knts so we put a second reef in the main, but she continued to fly. We had some concerns due to strange engine noises, but our resident mechanic, after careful checking, feels that we will be alright. Have lost prime on watermaker, but should be able to fix that. Finally was able to download our weather gribs, and things continue to look mlld. Crew doing well and we enjoyed some chicken alfredo for dinner. After I went to sleep, wind built to 28knots, so they rolled the jib mostly in and things quieted down. So much so that I actually got some sleep, the wind had slowed way back so nice motion for sleeping. Enjoying the full moon on my night watches and we had our first rain, actually, just a sprinkle. That about sums it up, Aloha, David
