San Francisco to Hawaii, Second Attempt. Update #39

39. Date: Fri, 30 Oct 98 04:12:53 GMT
Latitude: 25 degrees 48.107 minutes North
Longitude: 138 degrees 35.771 minutes West
Wind NE, Force 4
Heading 240 degrees(M)

Another magical wind day; blue skies punctuated with cotton clouds, even the swell and waves gently working in our favor with friendly nudges in the direction of Hawaii. One has the feeling of a 'right of passage' having been granted by Poseidon -our current host- with these conditions. Long may it last! According to the Pilot Charts, we can typically expect wind from the northeast like this 60-70% of the time this time of year. Could make Hilo in 20 days. Downhill from here...
