[heading] Nowhere, for a while yet!
[weather] Winds aren't very strong; seas - a long way "out there" and no way for us to tell "in here"; 10% cloud cover; bar 1016.71, rising.
[status] We tied up to the guest dock at Waikiki Yacht Club at 1115 today, a mere 25 days and 2900 +/- nm (who's really counting?) from Papeete, Tahiti - we were all cleared in by 2 pm! Then we had to sample the drinks and comestibles at the Yacht Club bar - not bad (I figure it will take us the whole two weeks we will be allowed to stay here to work our way through the bar menu, at a minimum!). As an added bonus, when we tied up, we looked across the pier and a saw a boat belonging to some friends we met in Mexico in 2010! We have since hard drinks and done some "catching up" with Mark & Dot, who have taken us under their wing and become our unofficial sponsors at the Yacht Club! And, to top off the evening, we just saw one of the nightly fireworks shows on Waikiki - spectacular! Tonight, certainly "All is well on board!" - but just don't wake us for our night watches! Thanks for following us on YIT!
