1 day out

Just wanted to put out the word that we have actually left.... Motored out of the marina about 4pm on Friday, anchored in Waikiki to scrub the bottom of the boat, had dinner and a nap, saw the friday night fireworks show to send us off, and now it's 5AM on Sunday and we're at 22 degrees 51 minutes North, 157 degrees 49 minutes west. Anyone that wants to keep track of our position can always check the Pacific Seafarer's net online (i think it's at www.pacseanet.com), and look at the Current Roll Call. My call sign is KF7OHO; I'm one of the last boats on the list. I check in every night, but I'm not sure they're that current at posting positions every day...

So far all's well, very light winds though. Hoping to get enough wind to keep us moving today, we only were doing 2-3 knots last night, too slow for our liking, so we've turned on the engine to put us along a bit this morning.
