Land Ho!

So close we can smell the pineapple!!

After 30 days - we are now 24 hours away from Honolulu and have sighted land - Cress and I spotted Maui's east coast lighthouse at 4:30 this morning (at Hana Bay!). And now at 6:30 we can see the smudge of the coastline only 10 miles off the port beam under heavy cloud.

The next 24 hours will be spent in great anticipation of making our landfall in Honolulu tomorrow morning. We will have to slow ourselves down a little in order to arrive there in the morning. So we are thinking we will take a bit of a scenic route between Molokai and Maui and then up toward Oahu.

Great to be here - it has been a challenge on many levels and we are looking forward to all the delights of land. It's going to be a busy 10 days now getting the boat cleaned up and getting ourselves ready for the summer.... Cress in China and me in Canada. Quite a few boat jobs on Cress's list and prep for leaving our precious 'Conversations' for the summer.

All is well with our world!

Irena and Cress
