local 2000
The wind picked up to a solid 20-knots last night and the seas were pretty big by this morning. Driving up the 15-foot faces of the waves definitely has slowed us down some. And doing anything on the boat - even lying down - is quite challenging. But we are still making over 6-knots good and the wind and seas have moderated a bit this eve.
Despite being wet and tired, and having to crawl around the boat like monkeys, everyone is doing well and we are excited to be only 275nm from Honolulu. Dan just fed us some cassoulet and the ipod is putting out our evening tunes as we launch off the waves into the dark.
We want to give a quick "shout out" to our friend Jonny, who gave us 15 gigs of music before we left. Dan and I have successfully duped everyone under the age of 30 who comes on the boat into thinking that we are musically hip. We just smile when they say,"Wow, I can't believe you have this!" (Thanks Jonny!)

Glad to hear you all are getting closer to Hawaii -- whatever 275nm means, it sounds like something near-ish. Which is good, because Liz has a massage appointment at the Claremont on Sunday at 3. Or, that is, 15:00 at 37N 51' 37.66" 122W 14' 42.46". Got it? Good.
See you then.
(Lots of love to all, hope your knee is doing okay, Dan, and looking forward to your return!)
Thanks for the shout y'all. It all sounds like so much fun. Can't wait to see you soon.
