Greetings from Tiki J. It is true, you sorta lose track of the days of the week out here hence the subject line. We know it's Friday and it came after Thursday and before Saturday, but other than that, just another day and night of sailing the Pacific. We have officially met the wind so on our southerly course to the Islands. Before this is sent to you, we'll know how well we did or did not do overnight. Brad has our waypoint/compass heading set for us right next to our course heading (I'm calling it our "training wheels"). We were losing a bit of translation between crew shifts of where we should be headed, really! Like anything else, if left to interpretation, everyone has their own! We did well last night. Tiki J is taking good care of us and hopefully likewise. We are being anal (believe it or not with the characters on board- TIC;) with entering our hourly log. We perform a daily check of all of the critical failure points. Vince set a fishing line out this morning, so we are trolling waiting for the big one! Ah...life is good.

Until next time, Kim Annette - I knew we brought Vince along for more than his good looks, he is comical relief as well!
