Leaving Hawaii

After a few weeks here on Oahu, we've got what looks like a good weather window to head offshore for Mexico.  Depending on the winds, we'll either land somewhere in California or head directly for Mexico.  I've sent an email already to most people receiveing the blog, but wanted to post that we're currently anchored in Waikiki (left our safe little dock slip in Kewalo Basin) and as soon as we're done cleaning the bottom of the boat and getting the anchor stowed, we'll be underway!

It's hard to leave Hawaii - it's such a great place.  And we'll especially miss our family (THANKS FOR EVERYTHING KEV - WE LOVE YOU!), and our friends here.  But, I guess this is the weather we've been hoping for, so it's time to set sail!

We'll be checking in on the Pacific Seafarers net daily, so you can check our position on their website at pacseanet.com under the current roll call or http://www.pangolin.co.nz/yotreps/pacseanet.php.  We're the call sign KF7OHO.  I'll also post blogs once in a while :-)  Ok, gotta go get in the beautiful water and help Tim clean the bottom - we miss already our friends on Scotch Power II who were here to help us last time!
