************************************ Two day trip to Honolulu.lots of rain (what else?).came down the channel between Oahu and Maui at Dawn so there were only 15-20 foot waves with only 30mph winds.nice sleigh ride to Honolulu. Very impressive passing Diamon Headbut when Entering Pearl Harbor Navy Base my engine overheated so I was visited by the base security boat and boarded for inspection.then the "assist" boat came out and towed me into Rainbow Bay Marina (Navy).

WOWwhat a marina.nicest facilities I have seen anywhere, head and shoulders above Paradise Village Marina, Puerto Vallarta Mexico. *****

 Next stop will be Johnston Island (now un-inhabited) for a rest stop and then on to Woje Atoll in Marshall Islands. *********************************** LEFT MEXICO April 28th.36  day (3600 mile) passage to Hilo, Hawaiifantastic reception, radio interviews with Art Bell (Coast to Coast AM), local radio.BBC for their shortwave program "OUTLOOK".front page of local paper (Tribune Hearld), even complimentary food at Kens pancake house
