The wind has clocked behind us enough to put up the spinnaker. The Cal 40's, darn them, are about a day ahead, and so got theirs up a day before we did. However, we are making nine knots, more or less, steadily, and expect to start eating into their leads. We are hoping that they see us and get nervous and do something silly.

Like go way too far north or something. We are also hoping for a crab pot to catch them. That would be pretty nice for us too.

John and I had to fiddle with the sail trim a bit to keep from rounding up. Creaky neurons etc impeded the 300+ years combined age in getting this right immediately, but we finally figured it out and are rocketing along straight to Hawaii! Hmm. at 8 knots, with 1300 miles to go, we get there when? Saturday? Nah. No way. But still.... this bears some thinking about.

Food has been great. Tonight: Chicken Biryani. Tomorrow is Cholesterol day, with Scrambled Eggs, Bacon, Steak, and more.

Love to all...
