In the home stretch

We are now just about 200 miles from Kwajalein. If we try and hurry and make exceptionally good time we might arrive the afternoon of the 15th, but will most likely have to wait till daylight and come in early on the 16th. We would like to avoid another evening at sea, but we will just have to wait and see what happens. We are definitely looking forward to making landfall (and a nice long shower).
The seas are starting to mellow out some and we are not rocking as much. We sail along for a little while pretty smooth, then all of a sudden we get some waves from the beam. This causes the boat to roll side to side, far enough that we get water on the decks, and anything not secured goes flying across the boat. It will be interesting to see if the seas are smaller once we get into the island chain.
