Day 1: Tahiti to Hawaii

Kevin left yesterday morning on his solo sail to Hawaii. He was lucky enough to get good weather and plenty of wind from the right direction because he planned on leaving on either Saturday or Sunday no matter what the weather was doing. He was able to make 120 miles in his first 24 hours, which is a good day for Pahto! Although he is not having as much fun as he should be because he said there is too much motion to do any fishing. I think he is a little disappointed about that since that is one of his favorite parts of being out on the water! He sent a message later in the day saying the wind had started to die a bit, but he was still able to make decent time. Hopefully he can keep up 120 mile days and make it to Hawaii in 3 weeks! His position as of this morning was 15 degrees 39 minutes south and 148 degrees 56 minutes west. I will keep everyone posted as he heads north!
