light wind



1900 Hawaii time
N23 46 W158 10
Winds are light (0 to 7-kts) and clocking and backing between NW and NE, making our progress somewhat slow. For the first time in a while we aren't hard on the wind in rough conditions for the start of a passage, which is actually quite pleasant. But hopefully we will get some more wind, since we've had to do some motoring today and use some of our diesel earlier than planned. Our day's run from Honolulu was 132nm in 23 hours, and we are now well north of any of the islands, heading out into the
great big blue ocean. Everyone aboard is feeling good, although a little sunburned, and life is pretty nice and mellow right now.
