(from Nathan) Off to port, a sail then hull crests the horizon. Nozomi, a double-handed Cal 40. I know the couple from a previous Pac Cup: nice folks. We'll chat during Children's Hour (an informal radio net at 1700). Relaxing but slightly slow afternoon. We've got enough breeze to surge along but not really surf and the wind is coming aft (as predicted) so that Hawaii is close to straight downwind. That angle might be favorable for us relative to the previous tight reach which was ideal conditions for the small, light boats carrying asymmetrical kites.
