Well there are a few more sheep in the pasture today. that means there are a few more white caps on the water. there is not much to report. Yesterday for lunch my mom made some really good ham, egg, and cheese breakfast burito, it was yummy! i slept through dinner, but what ever envelop surprise it was smelt good. The evening was uneventful, the wind and the seas stayed steady, it is still 100% cloud cover, but the moon makes all the cloud very bright, so we are not totally in the dark.
This morning Richard berried the bow twice in a wave so we thought it best to move some weight around. all that means is now i have the biggest jib onboard as a bunk mate. ah yes i love sailing.
This afternoon it came time to change out the spin sheet because it had been chafing, so we got it together then decided why not give the old Quilt a brake and out up a different spin. so we did. no we have a red, black, and white one up. it does not have a name but i am sure that will change by tomorrows blog. this kite is an 1.5oz that we had north sails cut down after we blew it up a while ago. it seems to be working fine.
thank you everyone for the news updates. the crew and i cant believe that tickets are being sold for the Michel Jackson memorial service. to odd.
alright i guess that is all for now. LA

Kaimuki car crash kills woman, 18
ReplyDeleteAn 18-year-old woman was killed last night when the car she was a passenger in disregarded a stop sign and collided with a sport utility vehicle in Kaimuki.
The medical examiner's officer this morning identified the woman as Dallas Arias of Honolulu.
Police said she was the 32nd traffic fatality of the year, compared with 24 at the same time last year.
Police said the crash took place at 8:42 p.m. at the intersection of 7th Avenue and Kilauea Avenue.
Police said the car was south-bound on 7th when it entered Kilauea and broadsided the SUV. The impact caused the SUV to veer off the road and strike two parked cars.
Arias apparently was not wearing a seat belt, police said. Paramedics took her to a trauma center in critical condition. She was pronounced dead shortly afterward.
Police said speed and alcohol do not appear to be factors in the crash.
The driver, 21-year-old Devin Alexander Martin, of a Campbell Avenue address, was arrested for second-degree negligent homicide and an outstanding warrant.
The driver of the SUV was not injured.
wah-hoo...now that Michael is taken care of (I pray) here's the link to our trans-Pacific interview...
