We continue to make good progress.  The wind has been consistent and we are making good time.  If this keeps up we should make it in in about two days.  I probably shouldn’t make predictions, but we will see what happens.

We had some fun on the fore deck today.  While Chris and I were at the mast looking at resetting a few of the mast wedges that had come loose, the spinnaker pole decided to release the after guy from the pole end. Becca was driving and did the right thing by going down wind so the spinnaker could be taken down.  While this was happening the squall hit and we all got soaked.  Everything happened at once!  We did get the spinnaker down, fixed the pole, reinstalled the mast wedges and got dried out.  It was a lot of excitement and fun.  At least it didn’t happen in the middle of the night.

Everyone is well and looking forward to getting to Kaneohe.
