Summary, Current still helping. 364 nm to Hawaii
down to just a few more days... things have eased a bit and the Captain has actually pulled back on the throttle
trying to time a daytime landfall. I've been thinking and chatting with the guys, comparing the two crossings -- north Pacific in
2009 and this mid-Pacific crossing. I intend to write this up after I get home, contrasting and comparing, and at least in my
mind, there's a clear preference, for more than just a couple of good reasons. Can you guess which way I am leaning and why?
