Well here you are, there it is, THIS is what it’s all about.
Kurt Vonnegut
Life doesn’t get much better than this. One of the greatest feelings in the world is to travel a great distance across an ocean and make landfall at your destination. It has been 34 days since we left Panama and we are now in Lahaina, Maui, HI, USA.
After over 5,000 nautical miles there is a lot to share. I kept up with the blog posts but, without internet, I had no way to post them. Instead, I saved them and will be putting them up here shortly. Get ready, because it’s going to be a big data dump.
But first, it’s time to get some sleep. We had a long night last night, crossing the channel from the Big Island to Maui and pulling into the anchorage at 0300. Today we took care of some chores ashore (laundry) and met Keao’s family. Right now it is just after 2300 (11 pm) and Jen and I have just returned back to the boat (which is now at the dock in the marina) after a huge party that Keao’s family and friends threw for us. It was an unexpected welcome that warmed both of our hearts. Now we are very, very sleepy.

The best friends in life… have a pool 
Anyway, tomorrow I should have more time to put up the posts from the voyage. If not tomorrow, then after tomorrow.
Aloha!
