+22 Sailing Trip
Moving slowly to the SW is better than not moving at all. Current position puts them - according to their GPS - at 120 miles to Kahului harbor. That's pretty close. Not close enough to see land and still a long swim. Winds will hold tomorrow so they should make about the same distance. They may not be close enough to touch it but they should be close enough to see Maui tomorrow. As of Wed. 5/30/07 21N 40.456 154W 17.687. Winds easterly at a limp 10mph. They caught some more squid but did not partake. And got an Aku but its fate is uncertain. What is certain is that young Brian has survived crossing most of the Pacific with a suppressed case of sea sickness held at bay with special medicinally imbued patches worn behind the ear. He is on his last patch. PLEASE, let it be a 36 hour patch.

We have a plan. The Hi just So of the boys moves W Sat and Sun. Heading So gives them NW/N then NE winds. By Sunday nite they should be in NE trades. Had to get E of that Hi to stop fighting headwinds. Reported Position Fri Night: N31.08.021 W136.22.290. Celebrating with Fruit cups all around.
