Tahnoo & her crew of Bill, Hugh & Ian left Honolulu July 3 ~ 11:00 local time, sailing up the east side of Oahu & then north. They've had some variable conditions so far, with some intermittent motoring required on a couple of days, but now seem to be in a more settled pattern of ENE winds. According to the forecasts, the winds should continue to be well organized around the N pacific high this week, so they should make good progress. Position on monday evening (BC time) was 29'24min N x 160' 18 min W, and heading almost directly north.

Ian caught a nice 20 lb. mahi mahi the other day, & i have not had any frantic cell phone calls asking where the spaghetti sauce or the oreo cookies are, so i think they are managing quite well in the galley:)
