San Francisco to Hawaii, Second Attempt. Update #20

Latitude: 32 degrees 34.220 minutes North
Longitude: 128 degrees 40.057 minutes West
Big occasional swells with a 150 meter wave length coming down from the north, no problem. Winds light and progress good. Jason gave up on primary water maker today. A major disappointment but glad backup works fine though it is a smaller emergency unit. Now it will take 2-3 hours per day instead of 1 to maintain sufficient levels. We could start inventing crazy solar distillation contraptions if mama necessity required, but right now not too concerned.
Jason very angry with the machine this pm... We did what any Brits would do in a particularly tricky situation - "ave a cuppa tea and fink abowt it."
Spirits are still high and heading for Hilo. -Steve
