Day 2

Just a quick check in. About 30 hours out and we're at 24 degrees 00 min north, 156 deg 39 min west. Things have been smooth so far, except some small leaks on our port side, but hopefully nothing serious. Just took a look at the weather and everything looks good. Leaving Honolulu at 4am yesterday, we motored around Diamond Head & up to Koko head crater with the full main, then the wind filled in and we got up the staysail, jib and mizzen. We've had good winds and been making good time (average 6.5 knots so far).

All's well, except dealing with the fatigue - but we're trying out a new watch schedule (4 hours each instead of 3 hours) so we each got a few hours solid sleep last night. I was seasick much of the day, but seem to be feeling much better today, let's hope that lasts!
