Monday update

Time: 6:00 pm Hawaiian time
Position: 38.187
-131.074
Wind: 20-25 knots true
350 degrees true
Sea: Rough, choppy, white caps.
Waves are about 6-8 foot

Today we changed the 150 to the 130, then reefed the 130 and the main and then changed to the 90.
We are still doing over 7.5 knots while close hauled.

It is colder. This is SF weather, not Hawaii weather. Everyone is putting on warm clothes now.
It looks like we will be approaching the GG area Tuesday evening, passing through the Gulf of the Farallons during the night and arriving at Brisbane very early in the morning Wednesday, subject to wind change and other variables. :)
I guess that means I will be up all night Tuesday making sure we have a safe passage through the shipping lanes and Farallons. Too bad it couldn't have been during the day.
We still have lots of fresh food, water, fuel and everything is still working.
