Day 10 Morning from Al (and Eli)

Good Morning,  All in all that was probably one of the best nights of the trip.  Moderate winds, lots of stars, no squalls until the sharks sunrise watch when things got a little cross eyed.  The day dawned with the end of the squalls and we had the first visible sunrise in a long time.  The day should bring more of the same (fingers crossed).  446 miles to go at 0800 so looks like Sunday daylight finish at Kaneohe.  Starting to stack the boat for a 400 mile port tack reach.  Hoping all is well with you, Al


From Eli (clipped from a personal email to his fam since this is a party line): All is well out here, we've had some exciting sailing over the last few days! We've also seen more and more flying fish, LOTS of bright stars, and I'm learning all about squalls. They can be dramatic and usually provide a welcome, if still cool, fresh water shower.

  1. Go get'em boys! A 400 mile port tack reach, wish I could be there to lend some weight on the rail (and get a taste of that Mahi-Mahi!)
