Aloha Everyone, another fine day aboard the good ship Ho'onanea, albeit a little warm. We are rapidly approaching the equator, and my sources say we will have royal visitor who, apparently, is none to happy about a certain polywog swab we have aboard and she shall remain nameless. I expect the visit to occur mid afternoon. Other than that, nothing to exciting to report. I made an artichoke salad for lunch and our polywog, who doesn't like artichokes, choked it down. For dinner, we had some blackened ahi, followed by pasta with cheddar cheese and ham. Boat has been performing flawlessly. A little boring not having anything to fix. Twice, just before we left, for unknown reasons, the head door would lock after Cathy would close it. It was not a huge deal, as I could reach in thru the open portlight with something long and unlock it. It dawned on me shortly after we left, in 20 kt winds, that if that happened again, we'd be a bit screwed as the the portlight would be closed! The only solution was to remove the locking mechanism. That has pretty much been the extent of my boat projects. Not that I won't have plenty to do when I return. The nights have been very pleasant, but I have been missing the moon. I expect we should see it setting within next few days. That is about it for the evening. Look forward to seeing you all, David
