+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.

Day two of the Real Deal

Graham called in (we suspect) using the satelite phone with their current position and condition. Position was N36degrees49.025min W124degrees11.514 min. Conditions - cold - very cold and windy. We of course realized we are of little help in advising forecasts or routing as we are still trying to figure out degrees and such. Plus NOAA has a bunch of useless pages. Everything we saw said warm, sunny and no problem. They are icing up. Either the boys delicate nature is coming through or there are inaccuracies in weather reporting. No further details except location and temperature. We'll be set for tomorrow night with hopefully some better advice and armed with knowledge of Lat/Long and yet more government acronyms. So far so good. B.
