[status] 20181215 0600 UTC, Day 26. 2 PonB, Douglas & Morgan, all is well. Outbound Fiji. Inbound Marshall Islands, ETA 12/17. Weather and seas have settled a bit since yesterday, but 30 kts are forecasted (GFS) for our area during the next 6 hours. I had a bit of a panic today when I realized the passage was coming to an end...had we made it as excellent as we could have?....did we do everything?...when would the next passage be? One of the luxuries we've had on this passage is taking a daily shower. Tumbleweed has a dedicated shower, but we usually fill it with fenders and such on a passage. Not this time. It's been grand to shower, especially on the hottest of days. We've had a great time on this longer-than-expected passage, but I must admit that I'm ready for a little break. 140nm to go (course).
