Westbound and down!

We are getting along quite well now. Less than 400 miles to go. I still think Sunday will be arrival day but the computer is saying Saturday or Friday with an occasional Sunday thrown in for good measure. Either way, we will be in soon.
Had fried Mahi Mahi yesterday with french fries. Found some tartar sauce also. Delicious!!!!!
Today I have already put out the fishing lines and thought I'd have a stroke doing it. Both lines got extremely tangled. Then the fishing pole started to act the fool. Put the pole away and only using handlines. Fish tacos today with any luck. Tons of flying fish around so we are hopeful.
The wind is blowing 15-20 out of the ENE and we are on a board reach heading about 280 degrees.
Sunny morning out here for a change and we had a full moon (or almost) last night and it was brilliant. We are all in good spirits and our eyes are tuned to the west for a glimpse of Hawaii Island. Couple more days till that happens I reckon.
Brian just got up and is going to relieve me here in a bit.
By all reports, everyone is sleeping OK despite the sound of water roaring as Appa shoulders her way across the Pacific. Once every 15 minutes or so, Appa will get on a wave and the wind will gust at the same time. We then surf down this wave, accelerating so hard you slide back in your bunk a bit. Then we hit the wave in front of us and you slide forward a bit. Takes some getting use to. Other times the boat does not feel like she is moving. Perfectly steady. Lying in your bunk, you wonder "What the hell?" and then the boat plunges down a wave or rises up another rapidly. You are ALWAYS in motion on this ride. Not like a car. Our up and down movements are 10 feet or so. You would walk if a car rode like this.
As a final note, we hit 13 knots yesterday surfing a wave and held 12 knots for 5 seconds. Got nothing more to say...
