Hawaii To Alaska Position Report #2

Position Report: 16 June 1330 UTC

38 24 N, 160 28 W

1,000 nm from Kauai, 1,000 nm to Alaska - the half way point.

Wind out of the North, 5 k, motor sailing. Overcast skies, occasional drizzle.

We had 30+k winds from the SW for 12 hours on June 14th, then light winds for 15 hours, then light or no wind varying from N to S. Expect light winds for another 12 hours then to freshen from the SW. The lows have been mowing East one after the other between 40 N and 50 N. The next 4-5 days look good though expect strong winds within the week, just before landfall.

Overall the voyage has been good, though have been motoring a lot more the expected. All is well on board.
