With our first week of sailing behind us, we're looking ahead to approximately two more weeks of sailing to reach Hawaii - some 1,500 miles to our North. And while our first week stated out slow due to a lack of wind, we've been making good time over the last day or so. We covered over 800 miles our first week, but we're optimistic we'll be doing better in the future. Today, we sailed a respectable 154 in a steady 15 knot breeze. The only problem is that our wind is currently on the nose, so the seas are making the decks wet and keeping the hatches closed is mandatory. That means hot and humid below - yuk! Sailing into large waves is also a difficult motion to function in, as the boat is constantly moving in unpredictable ways. One example is the broken toilet set caused when the momentum of a wave knocks its occupant off! (BTW, guys sit on toilets while at sea for this very reason). So, one has to be very careful to not get banged up while moving about. Otherwise all is well. We have wind, food, lots of fuel, full batteries and about 1,500 miles of sailing ahead of us.
