Music 1200; 09/14; 24 Hr Run = 102; CMG = 1513
HI Dear,
We are still motoring but now our speed is up to between 4.5 and 5 kts, and we are now heading 90 deg, Magnetic (M). I have a couple of good things to report. First, see above (CMG = course made good). Second when we cross longitude 139 deg 40 min, in about 5 miles (at a little after 8PM) we will be 1/2 of the longitude home from Oahu. - Yea to both.
Also want to let you know that because communications (sail mail and weather fax) are now with California, we have changed our clocks to pacific daylight time. Our 24 hour run will be calculated at 3 PM tomorrow from noon today, but that is still only 24 hours as you know. For the rest of the trip our 24 hour runs will be calculated at 3PM to keep things consistent with the beginning of the trip.
I love you
See you soon.

Hi Everyone - it looks like the battery on the transponder may have quit. So it's back to Google Earth for the tracking. John is less than 800 miles from home and the SSB radio is now picking up California signals so he's definately getting closer. No turning back now.
