July 7th 2009, 1645PDT, 23.39N, 137.41 W, Wind 045 @ 12 knots, Boatspeed 9.5, COG 265M, Cloud Cover 95 percent, Sea 6 feet.
And speaking about parties?
I received an unexpected call by Iridium from the boat and the crew were well into their Halfway Party. I spoke with everyone and they all sound happy and completely relaxed. I remember that relaxed is something that you can definitely get out there.
It is reported that the 6 hours day watches and 3 hours night watch system is a big hit.
Being further south than might otherwise be the case this far from the islands they also reported being surprised by their first squall. It was not a mean one. It mainly got everything all wet and reminded them of things to come.
So they are all togged out in fake leis' looking forward to the real thing in thier future and towards which they are rushing.
Everyone onboard sends warm wishes to their loved ones back home (or actually on their way to meet the boat in Hawaii).
