summary: keeping on positive side of fuel calculation



1317nm to Hawaii, I am extremely disappointed to report that I was sleeping when Shearwater crossed the Dateline;
we are now in West longitude for the first time since leaving HKG (local time is 18th June; UTC is 19 June). The crew
claims there was not a Krispy Kreme donut shop at Dateline (I dont see how this is possible), and I believe I detected
donut breath and suspicious crumbs....

continuing bouncy; both Roger and I have pretty much abandoned the forward cabin, and I wont brush my teeth in
the forward head -- got tired of having the toothbrush halfway down my throat during a bump

cant believe I'm happy? with the idea of 4.5kt average for the past 12 hrs; but that keeps us on the positive side of
the fuel calculation...
