We are 60 miles away from our waypoint at the islands and then have another 40 odd miles to get into Honolulu.
I’ve started cleaning out the fridge and freezer so we won’t have any fruits or vegetables on board when we get to the Ali Wai yacht harbour and I’ve started my list of stuff to get done before we leave the boat.
