Thursday 12:30 AM, just past midnight

A more beautiful night sail would seem to be impossible.
Saturn, Jupiter, the moon, a warm pleasant 15 kt breeze, and
a gentle sea with soft two foot waves.  We are doing 7.5 kts.
No large clouds, no ships, just No Ka Oi quietly heading
north.  Later tonight, a couple of hours before sunrise Venus will come up.
Gavin and Gautam are sleeping. Mai, Jared and I are
taking turns at the helm enjoying ideal conditions.
