Sorry about the delay between posts. Due to the water pouring in through a Hatch we thought was sealed and a badly damaged Halyard we diverted to Honokahau to make repairs and dry out the cabin. Luckily the only slip large enough for us in the Harbor was temporarily vacant due to its boat being in drydock. We have replaced the Halyard, washed everything that got wet, and removed the leaky hatch frame to reweld and reseal it . The big hang up now is that the Mate decided to bail out and the rest of the crew followed. Consequently we are falling back and regrouping. NZ owner and Captain are organizing some new crew I am working on working out as many bugs as possible. Aloha To all Stan
