We’re presently recuperating and catching up on sleep. We’ll start boat work in earnest in a couple days, although as I write this Ann is polishing the stainless. She hates to see the rust! A thankless job.

Last night we rented a car and drove into Oahu to meet up over a couple of beers with Felicita the J-120 we sailed in parallel with from French Poly. They are staying at Ala Wai in Honolulu and we are 20 miles further around the island at Ko Olina. After seeing the downtown marina at Ala Wai, Ann and I are very glad we’re here. It’s so much nicer. So, good to catch up with Perry and crew. They are leaving for San Francisco on Wednesday. A fast turn for them.

Perry and Joe (Dave flew home the previous day) from Felicita.

Orcinius is scheduled to get in here on Wednsday, then it will be party time! We haven’t seen John and Lisa since we stayed with them at their house back in January.

Tomorrow, we’ll probably take our mainsail into town for some minor repair. We found a small tear in the leech and need to get that fixed.

The only bummer alert right now is that I reinjured an old injury on my left elbow on our last day out, Friday night. I burst the bursa about six years ago lifting weights and it’s susceptible to reinjury. I guess I bumped it just right on something as it has now swollen up and I’m having a hard time bending it without major pain. Hopefully it will get better in the next day or two, otherwise a trip to the ER will be in order. In the mean time, the old standby: rest, ice, compression, elevation.

Im also going to work on getting the passage pictures on this site. We have pretty marginal internet here – only up at the BBQ area, so we have to sit at the picnic tables to get reception.

That’s all for now.
