Wind came up around 5 am so we unleashed the genny and are doing a blazing 3.5kts.! Better than wallowing in the trough! Shut the motor down yesterday afternoon to save fuel and we decided to just wait for the wind and get a good sleep! Worked out just fine, and now we are under 200 miles to go. Winds are light but we're moving and should make landfall Wednesday sometime and maybe cell service tomorrow for at&t, verizon is second best on Oahu. An odd thing I noticed this morning while doing a rigging check, small brown dots, like dust, smoke or ash, all over the boat. Has a volcano gone off somewhere? Let me know at buckaroo@ocens.net. Very odd as there are regular white clouds but nothing to indicate where this is coming from. Great, like my boat clean up list isn't long enough as it is!! Feel free to drop us a line, George and I like hearing from you all. Pray for wind!
