We're inside of 200 miles, but Astute observers will note that we've veered oddly to the West. Well, here's why: Unfortunately, Sweet Okole has lost their rudder 200 miles short of Oahu and require assistance. We are the closest boat, so it's VALIS to the rescue. We've diverted to intercept them in approx. 6 hours. No idea how long we'll be with them, so really don't know how it affects our ETA.. If they've turned the delay off on the tracker, you should be able to see both us and them in real time.

Lots happened today, but we need the computer otherwise, so here's the very quick Cliff's notes:

Was visited by a Pilot Whale. About 20' long, swam right beside the cockpit of the boat for maybe 10 minutes, I could've hit him with a broom. We've got an Albatross sitting on the solar panel. Apparently he's pooped, and wanted a ride. Been there for 3 hours, looks like he plans to stay all night. More later...
