Note from the Captain:
I'm plugging north, pushing the boat a bit - it certainly pounds going to windward and I've done a lot of that. Currently 640 nm north of Hawaii, close hauled all the way. Finally making a bit of easting but looking at the gribs it'll be a week or more before I can start the serious turn east. Pushing hard so it's less than comfortable but this is serious sailing - winds have been solid 10 to 30 from the NE and seem to be moving a bit east.
Your time 14:00 16 Sept, please face due west, ideally with an unobstructed view and wave - I'll be passing LA at that time and I'll wave back! Unfortunately the earth is round so we'll each be seriously below the horizon relative to each other.
...
Here I am Dad! Can you see me?!? *smiles*
