Repair Completed!

2PM.  At anchor in Hanalei Bay.

Just got word that the repaired boom is on its way back to us and should be here in Hanalei by 3PM this afternoon!

We will have a busy afternoon re-rigging the boom, fishing in the outhaul and reef lines, putting the mainsail back on, and getting ready for sea.  Hopefully we can depart for points west first thing tomorrow morning.

We will likely skip Nualolo and go directly to Niihau.  If we spend one night there instead of the planned three, we will be back on schedule.  The wind forecast supports this timing and it looks like the 3 day passage from Niihau to the Big Island will be in light to moderate trades.

I may have connectivity and be able to blog tomorrow between Kauai and Niihau, but will be off the grid from then until we make landfall on the Big Island four or five days from now.
