Keehi Marine Center pulled the boat last Friday and loaded her on the trailer that had arrived from the mainland earlier in the week. Unfortunately, hurricane Lane closed the port for a couple of days so they're a bit backed up and won't be able to accept the boat until tomorrow. So, she gets trucked to the port tomorrow where she'll wait for the Pasha ship that's scheduled to sail eastbound on the 11th. That said there are two hurricanes (Norman and Olivia) currently heading west towards the islands. Norman is forecast to track just north and east of Hawaii - but right through the path the ship would take to the mainland. Should be through before the ship leaves. Olivia is still pretty far east from Hawaii so it's a bit early to tell her track. Let's hope she doesn't cause any delays. (see the forecast map below).
These "low boy" trailers are nice because the keep the overall loaded height as low as possible and they have racks to load the mast on the side of the trailer (rather than on top of the boat as is common in most "standard" boat trailers).
West coast here we come....
Friday's forecast - that's Norman close to Hawaii and Olivia further east. Yikes!
