We left Hilo about 1 pm on Sunday the 17th, We've had good winds until today when we have no wind. Picture a glass ocean! We've done 819 miles, most of it straight north from Hilo. When the winds come back up they are predicted to come from the West or Northwest which should allow us to take a course to the NE directly to Seattle. Ciao

After 15 days we made it! It was tough with the two of us, we did it but it would be nice to do it with one other person, then you get 6 hours of sleep a night. Toughest part is that in the early evening that neither of us wants to sleep. We worked through it. Plan is to do a few repairs here left over from our trip to the Marquesas, finally a real boat store. We will need to send a few parts back to the States, that we'll pick up when we get to Seattle. Once the repairs are done or we've gone as far as we can we'll tour the island. Commander's our weather router says it will be a couple of weeks before we can take full advantage of the Pacific High to help us get back the the PNW, once that sets up we be coming home. Anyone want to crew?
Ciao Joel

We arrived in Fatu Hiva in the French Marquises at about 9:00 local time this morning, or about 1800Z time. It took us, along with others, quite awhile to get to a point where we were happy with our anchor and how it was holding. Geeze(sp) , you'd think for a $k dollars you could get something that would hold you in place! I turns out we were here for the big event of the week, the supply ship. We watched as almost everything under the sun was delivered, two bikes for two kids with two of the biggest smiles, and four trucks that was fun to watch them try to unload on to the quay at low tide. On the supply ship there were about 80 tourist who were doing the Marquisa circuit for two weeks. It was interesting to talk to them and to tag along with some of the activities the locals had planned for them... Ciao JOel
