We had a very nice day and night yesterday. Sunny skies for the most past, although we did have one short rain squall pass overhead. We put the Code 0 up at 0800 and ran with that until 1800. Winds 8-13kts, AWA between 55-75 degrees, making about 7-8 knots. The wind shifted and we had to drop the Code 0 and go with a headsail, but had good breeze in the low double digits, occasionally up to 16 knots and made good speed all night. We were able to put the Code 0 back up this morning around 0730 and ran with that until the wind pretty much shut off around 1000. We bobbed around for a few hours dodging commercial traffic until a light westerly filled in. We've chosen to take that in a just NW direction hoping to avoid a big wind hole in the south and be early to the anticipated northerly breeze when it fills in over the next day or two. The ocean is a beautiful deep blue and we've got perfect conditions for the solar panel to fully charge up our batteries. The food has been great - thanks Cindy! Everyone's doing great and trying to stay up on their sleep (yes, me too!). Love to all. Aloha, Tracy & crew.
