Vixen is now more than halfway to Hawaii. They set sail for blue water from Costa Rica on December 5. Luck has been on their side and they are typically seeing 15 knot winds and mostly clear skies. As of today, December 28, they are at W129º,15' N15º20'. They estimate their arrival will be in two weeks. The girls are as content as ever, but after 23 days at sea Bruce and Tiff are looking forward to landfall. All are in good spirits and enjoying the crossing. Highlights include an inquisitive pod of 30 pilot whales, a massive sperm whale blocking their way, and a surprising flying fish in the face during a night watch.
Also, I just saw that Wooden Boat Magazine has published another of Bruce's articles. So make sure you get your hands on a copy this month!
