[status] We did get away from Honolulu yesterday, but we did not make it very far! We were tied to the dock overnight at Ko'Olina Marina, near Barber's Point, about 20 nm west of Waikiki. We came here for fuel and that was a goat rope - with high winds pinning us and charter boats boxing us in; took us over three hours to fuel and get away from the dock! We decided to take a slip for the night (by the time we we got away from the fuel dock it was almost 4:30 pm), primarily to have the chance to check on some possible wiring issues related to the GPS feed to our chart plotter. We will sort that out this morning, and should be back underway before noon. "All is well on board!" Thanks for following us on YIT!

The cabin of a small yacht is truly a wonderful thing; not only will it shelter you from a tempest, but from the other troubles in life, it is a safe retreat.
