S09 44 W166 39
wind ENE 14kts
Still rough, and probably will be for a while, but all is good. Lots of euphemisms flying around for vomiting. Today's favorite is from our friend, Peter: "Calling the Dinosaurs." So far none have risen from the ocean, BUT... perhaps the whales heard the calls, as a couple of humpbacks have been breaching off our port side this morning.
It's great to think of the 70+ Transpac boats all racing toward Hawaii right now at the same time we are, although hopefully they are sailing downwind. We continue to race ourselves and try to go fast. We saw 11.4-knots 2 nights ago on the knot-meter, which is fast for us upwind.
Liz is clipped into the galley and cooking us up some sausage and eggs, and the wind has lightened a few knots which makes a big difference down below (especially in the head!).
