Smooth Sailing Today
18 October 2016 | Passage to Hawaii
Gerry
The winds are favorable, the seas calm (relatively speaking), and the sun is out. We are sailing North, in almost perfect conditions at 6+ knots in 14 knots of wind. Gone is the double-reefed main and genoa, the big ugly seas and gusty squalls of just a day or so ago. So we enjoy the now, never knowing what the next challenge will be. Another 150-mile day has us all in smiles today. The next milestone will be crossing the equator tomorrow afternoon. Dave is a Pollywog, so the Shellbacks (Gerry & Scott) will need to show him the ropes - so to speak! Neptune will not be happy if this is not done properly, so we need to be on our game. As they say on TV, “more news and film on that later in the program”.
Cheers from Huzzah.
