Land ho! After 54 days of solo sailing from New Zealand I fetched up in Hanalei Bay, Kauai. First order of business: spam sushi. Followed by laundry, a hot shower in the cockpit, and a bottle of Sailor Jerry’s.
Kauai has discovered New Zealand’s secret: a flat-white, made with two shots of espresso in a small cup. Yow! After an exhausting 5-minute search I found the best flat-white in Hanalei Bay at the Hanalei Bread Company.
A trip to the library afforded sufficient wifi to upload my latest movie, Vanuatu, with highlights from the second leg of last year’s cruise back to the tropics. Enjoy!
Meanwhile, here are some scenes of Hawaii:
I’d kind of given up on checking your blog, since contact from MINTAKA when you were a few days south of Hawaii. Just now (June 26th)got caught up. Congratulations!
How long will you hang in Hanalei? The singlehanded Transpac racers will be arriving there from SF in mid-July.
