Chasing the High

A squall blots out the almost full moon to the west. We plow north through the waves around the ever-moving high. Hawai'i lies 850 miles to the south now. I wonder if we will encounter the "garbage patch" as we make our way around the north Pacific gyre.

Made visual contact with the ship "Huian" yesterday, 7 miles off our port bow - the second ship we have crossed paths with since leaving Hawai'i.

We are making 150 miles per day and are on track for a 20 day passage.
