Wayne in the nav station... "head south until the butter melts, then turn West..."

Hey! Who said anyone gets to sleep around here?!?

Slower going with the small spin in the early morning

Scott in control...

Lots of beautiful blue sea...

Are we there yet?? Listening to AM radio for the ukulele music... Actually, using the latest routing software weather files to plot a course...

Don looking waaayy to relaxed to be racing...

John takes 'em to shcool...

Eric with the driving moves... wide stance; big surf; this is what we came for...

Scan the horizon for those squalls; they give us gooood breeze, a wild ride, and a quick shower...

At this point, we had burned thru two big kites (R.I.P.), and have been trucking along under spinaker for something like 7 days, 1500+ miles...

Gourmet eats a comin' form Chez Juan...

Living large in Hawaii; the Kaneohe Yacht Club is a fantastic host!
