Sailing along now

We sailed past South Point on the Big Island this morning. We hit the wind line and went from calm to 18 kts. The seas were a little rough at first but as we got further out they flattened out to 3 feet. We feel we are really on the way now. We are tracking our course line perfectly to cross the equator at 145W. The plotter says we will get there in 9 days. That would be the 14th or so. The wind generator is keeping up with the electrical load. The Ham radio is working well and is really fun. Problems,
not many. The diesel jugs in the lazerette are leaking a little through the vent caps. I had to pull them all out to reorient them and tighten the caps. Should not have been so full. We are doing well with our sleep and watch schedule. Trying to cook is a big challenge. Keep it simple is the plan. Have not caught fish but haven't really been trying too hard. One of my reels is messed up so I can only use one. Maybe should have brought hand lines. Its all good.
