Relatively peaceful night but very wet with dew. The kite came down around midnight as the wind dropped and concern about a wrap took precedence. Sailed wing on wing through this morning. Skies still clear, Venus bright above the moon this morning, should make it the latitude of Oregon before this evening. Switched to PDT onboard this morning but the crew seems to be hanging on to that hawaiian time pretty fiercely as no one else has even stirred and it is now almost 1000. Put the fishing line out again in the hopes of another tuna. All in good time, Al
position at 1000 PDT 41 01N 146 45W course 005M speed 5.7 knots, DTF 1036, wind 11 knots @ 175
(Yay! Kotuku is almost to Oregon. But we have about 900 miles of East we still have to cover. The hope is that the more normal Westerly/NW pattern fills in, and the rest of the way is reaching and running to the Straits of Juan de Fuca. Now, if we can just get the weather to cooperate! -Graeme)
