Music heading back to Hawaii
I wanted to let you all know that Music is heading back to Oahu. She got hit with a rogue wave last night and it has affected the steering. Sometimes it steers normally and sometimes it gets very stiff. John went over to see if something was jammed in the rudder or if it was visually damaged and couldn’t find anything. He’s been in contact with Jim Jesse and Svendsen’s boat yard and they all agree something is going on, but nobody seems to know what. So the crew decided it would be better to head back while they were still close to land. It’s a tough decision for all of them as it was a hard 400 miles they just sailed. We'll keep you posted.
