Half way there!!!
Early this morning we passed the halfway point to Kwajalien! 2650 miles done and 2650 miles to go.
We had to have a small celebratation drink to mark the occasion. This also coincided with the time of time of the Amigo net (a net on the SSB radio for boats cruising Mexico) so we got to share the event with our friends back on the mainland.
We have been underway for 21 days, and have been averaging about 120 miles a day. Our longest day was 151 miles and our shortest was 102 nautical miles. Our longest day was actually made with the least amount of sail and the most wind!
We are now getting tradewinds a little more like we expected. The winds have been about 25 or so and fairly consistent. The waves are smaller and the sailing is much more pleasant. We still have to be careful for the sneaker waves that occasionally come and splash water into the cockpit, but it is nice to sit outside on watch. Of course there has been nothing to see for quite a while.

Tim,
Greetings from Kwajalein. Heard you were en route & found your web site. Hope you guys have a great trip. Look forward to meeting you all. I'm the Harbor Master here & will likely talk to you when you enter the atoll. By the way, we monitor VHF channel 12 & 16 and 2716.0 on the SSB. Fair winds!
