summary: Status quo with brisk trades

just under 1200nm to Hawaii waypoint. Less than 2 times Hong Kong to Subic (660nm one-way), but at the rate
we're making progress, it will take us almost 3 times what it has taken to make that run. Maybe seeing the first
vessel (on radar only) since leaving Majuro.
