Summary: Change to 065 deg COG from 035 COG --Using Lee's information we are now on a rhumb line to Hawaii as there is no advantage to be further North at this time
Shearwater is continuing to bang away into head seas & winds. Distance to Hawaii is under 1700 nm and we're making (slow) progress in that direction.
Sleep is interesting when one is getting a full body levitation, then body slam every few minutes. But there's no Mr. Wizard to bring us magically home and Scotty
seems unwilling to beam us up, so we slog along at the pace of a modest jog or a leisurely kayak paddle... only not as much fun.
