We are enroute to the South Pacific. 110 miles from Hilo. Only 987 miles to go, which means that we’ll be entertaining ourselves shipboard for the next two nights and all of one day. Seas are reported ‘Rough’ which equates to 7.5 to 12 foot swell. Sure doesn’t look it from our station, deck 11. The wind is piping, however. 32 knots from the NE. You can see the spray blown off of some of the whitecaps in the turbulence of the lee side of the ship. Even still the boat is making 23 knots. Not too shabby.
