Speed 6.0 kn
Course 185 True
Wind SE 20 True
We departed Lahaina at 0930 (late for us!) and experienced all kinds of conditions. We started off motoring, had to double reef in 25 knots of SE wind, and enjoyed a beautiful sail in 10 knots of west wind in the lee of Kaho'Olawe before turning S again in 20 knots of SE wind. We ran the water maker earlier while motoring out of the mooring area in front of Lahaina, and all's well. Max (our Sailomat windvane) is steering and I'm on the roll call for the Pac Sea Net. We're hoping for a nice first evening underway; the weather forecasts have been looking good for the next few days.
