Yahoo, wind returned about 0200 HST and has been building slowly ever since, now up to 16 knots SSW.  Sailing with pure white sails do 6-7 right down our intended track.  We still have half a tank of fuel plus 12 gallons of jerry cans so I think we are good (touch wood)for the near future.  I expect this to continue for the next 72 hours.  We played a few rounds of nerts(sp?) last night in the cockpit before it got too dark to see the cards, then had some bowls of black bean soup before retiring.  Happy times aboard the bird, Al
