We are into day 4. After a great spinnaker run through the night, we find ourselves continuing under spinnaker now in the sunshine. With less heel and rocking, we took the opportunity to get down to the business of enjoying the remaining tuna from Mark's first (and, so far, only) catch -- today's features were sushi, ceviche, and more blackened tuna. We all almost fell over laughing as Gord's eyes nearly popped out with too much wasabi, but otherwise the sushi was a new hit. The water and air both continue to warm and we are all looking forward to Mark's next catch as we expect more fish in the warmer water.

Back to the sailing; we have lost sight of Turnigan taking a bit of a different course, but we now have had visual on String Theory for the past eight hours or so. Andrew (aka Mr Fixit) has had no shortage of minor repairs and tweaks, but all core systems of the boat have been working great.

We have adjusted our clocks back one hour as we get closer to Hawaiian Time and shifted our watch schedule to the new time in the process. Spirits are great with the team, and the sailing is spectacular.
