1600 HST, Wind 21 @ 070, Barometer 1016, Cloud cover 20 percent, (clouds of vertical development over land), Sea 6-8 feet, DTF 27nm, ETA 1820HST (estimate).
I find it interesting that their estimated finish time is around sunset in Honolulu. Because the sun sets later at Plan B's home latitude it is about that same time here as well.
There were some frustrating times (now forgotten by the race crew I'm sure) in the early going when the tracker was estimating a finish on July 30th! But the last half of the race has been what Ocean Racers dream of.
So at about the same instant the sun falls into the sea of Waikiki and sets behind the mountains back home Chuggy and MacArthur and Roscoe and Evil should be sweeping past the Diamond Head Buoy putting the lock on one of life's best memories.
In all it's majesty nature is going to make sure the ending to this crossing is a pretty one!
