Tahnoo arrived in Hilo harbour last night, June 1 ~7pm and Sea Reach followed ~90 min. later. Total travel time from Nuevo Vallarta, Mexico 24.5 days.
i was not able to greet them at the dock because of security at the harbour - i'm not allowed in, & until they clear US customs, they're not allowed out. So i watched from the beach, & once they were tied up Bill rowed over to meet me. I went aboard for a champagne toast, then the guys all had long hot showers & went to bed.
Today they will call customs & hopefully get cleared in. I'm at the hotel with a load of fresh pineapple, bananas & papayas, waiting to hear when they can come ashore for a feast!
