10 North

Aloha Everybody,
We are one third of the way now if we keep up to 120 miles a day. We made good progress last night into worsening seas till we finally had to slow down. Winds are about 25 kt and seas 10 feet. We are occasionally getting slammed pretty good. It is not comfortable and my sleep has suffered for it. The wind generator likes it though. Batteries are fully charged now. I am hoping the seas settle down later today. Sooner would be better. Forecast calls for 20 kt for another day. The problem is the waves.
So we did 110 miles in the last 24 hours. After roll call yesterday Don Aukus called me on his ham radio. His signal came in very strong and clear. Wish mine was as good. We got caught up on the latest at Makani Kai Marina. It was fun to talk to him via radio. We also used the Satphone yesterday. Ling called her mom in Singapore and I call my mom and dad. It was great to talk to them. This typing is difficult when the keyboard is a moving target. We are looking forward to getting a little further
South where the wind and seas should give us a nice break.
