First Report

We decided to leave early because of hurricane Daniel. It was predicted to hit the Big Island on Wednesday so we thought we'd get out of Dodge. Departed Kauai at 1930 hrs yesterday July 24. Immediately started sailing fast!! 8+ knots with a few 10's thrown in for good measure.

It is currently 1030 HRS and we've sailed over 100 miles with 2148 to go.

The boat handles like a dream and we're having fun.

Doug S, the navigator didn't seem to pay attention. Can you send a step by step sailmail to viewfax. Don't seem to be able to convert the sailmail weather to viewfax. Please help.

Your loving return crew.

1500 7/25 Position: 24 degrees 30.07 min N x 158 degrees 04.56 W
