We arrived in Honolulu on Sun. June 23, after our 2nd attempt to cross the Kaiwi Channel. Geraldine & John of Sea Reach were here to catch our lines, & we are now rafted with them at the Hawaii Yacht Club.

The sailing among these islands is definitely challenging, but rewarding. It seems there are always strong winds & big waves in the channels, so you just have to suck it up & go through that to get to the next place. We got in lots of snorkeling at Honolua Bay (NW tip of Maui), Molikini, Manele Bay (SE side of Lana'i) and one more overnight at Kaunakakai Harbour (S side of Moloka'i). We did not have the time to explore inland on any of these islands unfortunately, that will have to wait for next time.

Crew for the next leg of the trip, Glen, Hugh & Ian arrive here on Thurs. June 27 & will set sail along with Sea Reach shortly thereafter.
