We are 970 miles from Hawaii. We had very strong winds last night and made just over 200 miles in 24 hours. Now we are getting ready to make our final approach to the Molokai channel and the timing of our gybes. All the Cal 40's are coming together at the finish so it will be exciting on 7/23.

We have been starting to see flying fish and more sea birds. One actually hit the side of the boat during my driving shift. That was startling, and probably not much fun for the fish.

It is starting to get very warm in the boat so we are really enjoying our fans. The sun is getting intense, so we are spending more time in the shade and down below. We still get hit by the occasional rogue wave. Somehow all the big waves(Poops) have found Ted first. Some have filled the entire cockpit. Tony had the misfortune of sitting between Ted and a big wave last night. Cheers, Capt Rod
