On the hard briefly in Hawaii

We ended this leg in Honokohau Harbor (Kona, Hawaii) on June 8th, hauling out to the storage lot on the 9th. This was a near-perfect passage: good wind, few squalls, no mishaps. We repeatedly set new personal records for speed and distance. It was a pleasure overall. No matter how many passages I might make in the future, I doubt I will ever have a better one. My crew and I each went home to our families, in my case only for a couple of weeks. Although I don't yet have crew arranged for the final leg to Washington, I expect to be sailing off again towards the end of the first week of July. This last leg should take about four weeks. I expect it to be more difficult than the previous one, but much less so than the first one. Stay tuned to find out.
