more!

More wind! More waves!
We are more than 1800 miles into our passage to Polynesia.
Soon we will be 2/3 complete.
1100 miles left!

As of 0350 local, 1150 UTC,
S 07*40'
W 121*16'
Course 255* M
Speed 6 kts

All is well aboard Pau Hana.
Not much for current events. Another flying fish was stranded on deck.
We have full jib poled out to starboard and reefed main prevented out to starboard as well.
We are on a broad reach with the wind on our port quarter.
In the dark of the new moon it sounds like we are going 50 miles an hour.
Actually we're going 7 mph

  1. Spring storm has dropped 6 inches in Bozeman so far and still snowing. Our trees are heavy with snow. Meanwhile we are getting the van packed up for a desert trip. Typical spring in Montana!

  2. I'd say it's closer to 10 inches now. I'm glad you are sailing right along! Time to shovel again, whee!

  3. Wow you guys are making great progress! Tomorrow you'll be over the spot on Google Earth that says "Pacific Ocean"!
