San Francisco to Hilo, Hawaii

N 28° 20' W 130° 19'

Day 8

June 14, 2008

1641 miles to go – No wind.  Seas calm. 100% cloud cover.  Engine on for five hours. Hand steering.  Hoisted spinnaker (a big parashoot weight light air sail), barely making headway. It seems to be all or nothing for the good ship Sand Dollar.  Stuck in a little wedge of the pacific high, we’ve lost our wind, but try to creep through the bottome of the high pressure.
