A long, slow day.

Motored for 3.5 hrs., ghosting along otherwise, at about walking speed.

I head directly south when motoring (slightly more wind to the south), instead of directly toward Hawaii.

More garbage in the water today.  I see something every half-hour or so.  Plastic net, rope, and a bottle!

I actually turned around and tried to pick up the bottle.  It was corked, and might have had someone’s last message in it...

I didn’t quite reach it, but I was close enough to see nothing inside of it, so I passed on.

Later, a huge bird swooped by.  “Albatross” I said as I saw it’s 5 or 6 ft. wingspan.  Neat!

...and it’s getting warm.  Shorts only, and stay out of the direct sun.
