The squalls disappeared about 5am. We've got mostly sunny skies, but there are big thunderheads on the horizon all around.
We're now 150 miles from Honolulu. We're west of the big island, but it's shrouded in clouds and haze so we can't see it yet. There is supposed to be a dead spot in the lee of the big island, but we've still got 25kts of breeze, no shortage of wind here.
At some point we'll adjust our speed to time our arrival with sunrise, but right now the waves are quite steep with a short period and are creating a cork screw motion so this is not a good place to go any slower. Coming down a wave about 10 minutes ago we were doing 11.5kts. Reminds me of finishing TransPac.
