Its been a long day but with some good rewards. Lots of miles covered, got most of the crew some good experience hand steering downwind in waves, learning about apparent wind, etc. Removed and replaced the autopilot after making some adjustments. Fingers crossed that it works correctly. Around 8 PM HST I saw a green aerial flare nearby. Reported the position and time to Valis before the evening roll call at 9 PM, who will relay the info to the CG. In the 04 SHTP I had a similar experience and the end result was it was from some military exercise like a submarine surfacing but I cannot remember exactly. Tonight is reportedly one of the nights for viewing the Perseid meteor shower. We could certainly see something as the sky was incredibly clear with more meteor activity than we remember seeing. Getting close to halfway which is pretty good time, cheers, Al
