Rose and I are trying desperately to reach the East side of Oahu so as to conserve my meager fuel supply. Luckily, we have had wonderful sun shine the last 2 days allowing my solar panels to perform for the first time in three weeks. 240 nm to go to Ala Wai yacht harbor. We have been slogging through 3 m seas and 20 k winds coming from the East for the last 24 hrs. What happened to our steady NE trades we were counting on? Anyway, all is well, I've been conserving fuel by turning off the frig Bad thing is I've had to throw out 15 lbs of good tuna. Warm beer not so bad thank goodness. As for food, I cooked up 2 lbs of hamburger to slow down it's demise. Today I ate a 3/4 lb burger on my wonderful spice bread. No more fresh fruits or veggies so I combined baked beans corn and peas and fish and boiled up some spaghetti . Bad idea- don't try that. I cooked them all together to save on dirty dishes. Rose is holding up well despite all the rocking and rolling and now the bucking bronco part. Can't wait to get to Honolulu and see Nick and Michelle and my pretty wife.
