I know I missed a day! But we have blue skies and only a slightly confused sea. Yesterday's rin was close to 123 nm! keep this up and Monday? Ala Wai? Hope so, if not Tuesday for sure as we only have 410nm to go. Caught a small striped marlin the other day, about 40lbs, but with no fridg, only was able to keep enough for 2 days. Bummer! But cooked but nicely in the oven and cooked fish will last a couple of days, gone now. Jim, it the pink and white one, and since it was small, I drugged him until the fight was gone, then flipped him up in the cockpit. Dan we have photos for your boy. Last night or rather early this morning, we ran at 6 to 7kts and I'm letting her run like that now as I type this out. Also, had a little bit of a wind shift to the east, so are headin between 5 and 15 mag, losing some of the westing, yea! and gaining latitude, heading north and a east. Good thing as I like the marinas and service in Oahu rather than Kaui! We are good on food and fuel, just packaged stuff and canned goods, but we eat. Not much else going on just taking it bit by bit and trying not to think of hot showers, food and beer!!!! lynn
