It sounds like the Warriors are enjoying unusually benign conditions at they enter the infamous Molokai Channel.
I'm pretty sure they would like to come in hot but from everything I can glean from here it looks not to be this year.
This message received from the boat at 1230PDT:
"Last note from sea.
After a taxing night of sail changes and 60 degree wind
shifts we can see the shores of Molokai now and everyone is resting and
enjoying the last 70 miles to go. The wind remains light, just 14 knots, so we
may have to manufacture our fun when we get to shore. We are hoping to be able
to clock the last 70 miles in 7 hours but everyone knows that may be a bit
optimistic since Hawaii remains durably downwind from our position.
New age reggae on the speakers and fine wind. A pretty
lovely Monday afternoon -- all in all.
Cheers
Will call from shore as soon as practical.
Doug"
Practical probably means some time this week!
The danger in all this is that they will be well rested for the dock party coming up!
