Day 17 (Sunday, June 29) by Mike

Sailing with Dummies (Hawaii to Alaska Edition)

We’re headed toward a possible underwater mountain. According to one chart it’s 60 feet underwater. In other words, if it was 61 feet taller it would be an island. It’s a little bit to the left of a direct path to Attu. Sometime in the middle of the night we should get to where it might be.

The wind has been changing speed and direction a lot since we left Midway. Our boat speeds have ranged from 3 knots to 11 knots. A knot is close to a mile per hour. And 11 is better than 3.

Daily Cuisine:

Josh made bread in the bread-maker! This was a first use on the trip since we were missing the paddle. Dave, the Midway Airport manager, gave us a paddle and instantly became our hero when it worked!

Fishing Report:

No bites today.

Arts and Entertainment:

Oklahoma played on the Minnow this evening.
