just after dawn this morning, Wade and I hauled out the p-vane fish and kicked up the rpms a bit. we'd calculated that with just
a quarter knot increase in SOG we should be able to get inside the reef at Majuro before sunset. So we're accepting a little bit
rockier ride (than we might have had) so we dont have to spend tonight hanging around outside the reef. Of course if the wind and seas
kick up much this afternoon -- and slow us down half a knot -- it will all be for nought.

It's looking like a nice day so far; and we're looking forward, of course, to a calmer boat, getting some chores done (that are difficult in motion),
fueling and getting underway for the last (very long) lap.
