May 16,2023. First day of the first leg Waikiki to Palmyra Atoll. Winds currently 15 knots off off the beam in a steady sea.  The crew is elated to get off of the dock.  Smiles all around.  We have several hitchhikers on the rail.  I wonder if these birds know […]

April 14, ship’s time (April 15 local Kiribati time). 3am.We’re bobbing along gently in a light breeze this morning, much as we have been doing the last few days. With only a few knots of wind, often coming from dead ahead, we’ve been mostly motor-sailing lately. Occasionally we’ve raised the […]
