There are good ships and wood ships
And ships that sail the seas
But the best ships are the friendships
And may they ever be...

Day 9

Date: 08/22
 
Lat/Lon: 36 24.36'N deg 156 deg 07.27'W
Course: 110 deg Mag
Current Speed:5.5kt
Current Wind: NE (our observation); Grib: 058-060
              Apparent wind: 17Kt @ 30 deg port
Next Waypoint: Temporary Waypoint at: 38 14N; 150 .00W
              309NM distance

At present we are doing our best to head east. We sacrificed north because we were heading 300 deg magnetic and ultimately moving toward a hi in the central Pacific. Grib files look like this low will last another 24hr, maybe less, and weaken. We will turn north as the wind allows, but for the moment we are really going to try not to head NW again.
