April 16 - Honolulu to Molokai


N21deg05min/W157deg14min We've departed Honolulu! The weather window looked promising, and, although hard to believe, the reality has lived up to the advertizing! We cast off the dock lines shortly after 0700, seen off by our dear friends Richard and Lee of sv Before. We motor-sailed under sunny skies in 10 knots of SE wind. Of course, the wind was coming directly from the direction we wanted to go, but seas were flat and we anchored in Lono Harbor at 1430. The anchorage is 20' deep, and so calm in here that it's hard to remember we're actually out cruising again! It's been a wonderful first day out, shake down cruise. Tomorrow we'll awake early and depart for Lahaina. Let's hope the fishing is better than it was today...
