Day 11 Report 1

Sunday, July 12th, 4:51am

After a beautiful sunset, tonight the moon is shinning high. Conditions
are a little soft but very pleasant. The wind finally headed and we are
now sailing in direct line to Hawaii. The wind is between 13 and 16
knots, swell coming from east of about 8 to 10 feet, mostly clear sky
and some squalls but low in intensity. We are on port tack under R2 and
are debating on putting the stay sail or not. The moon is shining so
bright that we even saw a moon bow after a squall, quite unique.
Our ETA keeps changing and we are now looking at early Monday morning.
We have 240 miles to go.
