We are still plugging along in 8' seas and 20-25 kt wind. We still are keeping the boat slowed down due to the waves. No squalls today, just lots of sun. We have to keep the boat closed up except the companionway so it is a little hot below. Forecast calls for more of the same caused by the stationary high just south of Tahiti. We are doing our 120 mile days so are on schedule for arrival on the 23rd. We are both looking forward to getting the anchor down. I was taking the fishing lure off yesterday
when a wave hit the boat throwing me off balance. I caught myself with my foot in the cockpit but jammed my little toe. My foot has been pretty sore. It will be okay but it is a reminder how careful we must be not to get hurt. We have only seen one boat since we left Hawaiian waters. We keep the radar on just in case. So another day of sleep, eat, and read.

Hard to sleep on a small rocking boat in a mighty ocean?
We need about 6- 9 hours sleep a day.Ling needed much more sleep than that as a child.She attended kindergarten 46 days in 2 years because she could not wake up for school and when she was in school it was a great surprise to her fellow students and teachers.
She graduated somehow but the parents were too shy to collect her certificate.
Sleep deprivation and it's consequences:
1.stress and anxiety
2.anger, irritability and depression
3.lack of focus and difficulty in concentration.
4 short term memory loss.
5 impaired motor function and balance
6 supression of immune system.
Arrival in Tahiti will lead to very sound make up sleep.
Have a safe last lap-don't injure your other toes.
Sorry to here about your toe and sore foot. I'm anxious for the 23rd knowing how nice it will be for you to relax for a bit. "Happy Belated Father's day" to you from your niece. :o)
