Coming off midnight watch yet again. Something different to watch, tonight, though. The glow of the Eastern and North shores of Oahu towns of Kaneohe and Hau'ula are clearly visible and we can see the beacons on top of the ridge. We're about 25 miles out, sailing a really nice close reach in fairly smooth seas with great phosphorescence! If we can keep close to our present 7 knots, we're looking at another 3.5 hours or so. Some lightning in the distance promises maybe one more little shot of excitement before we shut it down. One more nap for me, then a Mai Tai, a Lei, and a hug from Lydia and the kiddos. Can't wait!
Whiskey Delta Bravo 2898 VALIS out
Yep, I'm sailing the PacCup again for 2014. We'll be covering over 2,000 miles and two weeks in Paul Elliot's beautiful VALIS, starting in San Francisco Bay and ending up in Kaneohe, Oahu. Our only connection to you will be via a puny satellite connection, so I can't send pics till we hit land, but if it all works right I should be able to update this blog once in a while. I look forward to reading your comments when I get back. Aloha! -Other Paul
