Capt John (via ocens email)
Justin and I are doing good, but I spent the night in the cockpit babysitting Oscar Couldn't sleep anyway thinking about you and dad.
Only making about 4 knots, very frustrating. Glad dad's safe and sound!
(more from John)
Well........with three men on a small boat out in the seaway of the Pacific ocean.........with a head (toilet) that would make most RV's look like a 5 star room can you just imagine going in there barefoot???EEEEEEUUUUUUWWWWWWAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!
This wasn't in the brochure!~~~ the Captain on head duty? sigh....it must be done. I'm not quite sure if it has EVER been done. But I do have a desire to be clean meself, and there is hot water and a drain in the floor, so out with the pinesol and brushes AAAARRRRR. (i now know why they alway say that)
I can't really say it is safe to eat off of but it is most defiantly good to go for bathing.
I was awoke to the smell of pancakes this morning that Justin had made. He had not been feeling well the last couple of day we think because of too much sun. Now feeling much much better with a lot of rest and fluids. Upon stepping out in the cockpit I was welcomed by a bull blown rainbow! Hows about that for a promise from God?!
We have less than 1000 miles to go. There is a storm coming our way and Justin and I welcome it! Bring on the winds. We'll reef the main set the staysail and haul ass to Honolulu! We do appreciate all of your good wishes and prayers.
