Today we covered about 140 miles. The day started with dying winds at 01:00 where we ghosted along at 5.5 knots for a couple of hours. Then, when we couldn't take it anymore, we performed an early morning refueling. Luckily, we are still on Hawaii time so we had plenty of light. We motored - again - through the morning but then the wind found us. We've been sailing along with the wind off our beam at 8 and 9 knots for most of the day. The winds are now up 16 knots and we hope to hold that at least through the night. Today was simply a day on the water, surfing small waves and enjoying a little different wind angle.
Now that we are so close to home - everyone is anxious to finish the trip and rejoin their family and friends. We're hoping for a big band at Richmond Yacht Club when we arrive. But, if not, we understand. We'll just be happy to be home with our spouses and children (both the four and two legged kind).
See you all soon.
