Getting back into a routine

We are sailing again and trying to get used to our watch schedule again. We had a few rough days after leaving Johnston atoll, the waves were still large and confused. The exit channel leaving was a bit more exciting than we like as the wind and waves were making it a wet and bouncy ride. It would have been easier if we had waited another day.

Johnston Atoll was interesting, but with boat jobs and the bad weather we did not get too explore too much. It was fun to make landfall at a deserted island. The island appearing on the horizon and slowly growing details. Watching the water change colors from the deep offshore blue to the lighter blues and greens of sand and coral, with patches of brown coral heads was beautiful. The island was full of birds, every tree and bush had a bird nest in or under it. The de-commissioned base could have been a set for the "Lost" TV show.

Less than 1200 miles to go.
