It looks like VALIS will be crossing the finish line tomorrow (Monday), in the afternoon or early evening. The wind forecasts look favorable, and the current conditions are great. We’ve had mostly sunny skies, with a few mild squalls thrown in.
None of us is too interested in dealing with the aftermath of catching a fish, so the lines and hooks have remained safely stowed. Our biggest catch remains the 37″ mahi-mahi, and this is no match for the 43″ fish reported by Scaramouche V. I guess we owe them a round of beers.
It is now 8:20 PM PDT. We have 152 miles to go, and have been averaging 7-8 kts most of the day. Tomorrow should be similar. We have begun to spruce up the boat, and ourselves, and are looking forward to seeing our friends and family very soon.
Aloha, Paul / VALIS
