Aloha All,

We are all getting in the groove of pulling watches through the night and getting boat chores accomplished during the day. Meals are especially looked forward to. Now that Zane is comfortable with cooking underway he is firing on all cylinders. I have to say the frozen fruit and yoghurt parfaits are especially refreshing and appreciated at breakfast and lunch. Way more gooder than Starbucks. Amazing! Can't wait to see what Zane can do with the fish we catch. We WILL catch a fish damn it!

Did some autopilot malfunction drills with the crew this a.m. We are all confident that each of us can recover from an inadvertent cancelling of the autopilot. Tonight we will do some more drills so as to train under more realistic conditions. The goals is to recover from an autopilot malfunction before I can get out of my bunk and get to the helm. If done properly, no one else aboard will ever know it even happened.

Everyone take care and stay well. All our love.
