Summary: 295 Miles to Hawaii surface current is inconsistent

tonight, a series of squalls, accompanying higher winds and surface current has made things sloppier-chappier than earlier today, slowing our SOG (again), But basically we're two full days and change away from Hawaii. that big full moon, providing so much light during our night watches is on the wane and is missed.
