On May 6, 2012, OSN columnist John Pinto launched “Voyage to EHR,” a month-long solo sail from San Diego to Honolulu aboard 24-foot “Aurelia” sponsored by Ocular Surgery News and Compulink. You can follow his mid-ocean blogs here, and track his daily progress online until his slated arrival in early June by clicking on http://tinyurl.com/AureliatoHawaii. John’s practice management blogs will resume in July.
Aloha from Aurelia at 30 degrees, 17 minutes north, one hundred (fades out) degrees, zero minutes west.
Its 8 a.m. PST, and all is well. The consolation for high winds and lumpy seas is great speeds, at least by Aurelia’s standards. (Fades out)…. along at six knots … (garbled) decent jogging pace on land.
Life aboard Aurelia is pretty much (fades out) … hands and knees at this pace, as we pirouette – crash to Honolulu.
However, based on the rising barometer, we should enjoy a dry (garbled) after 24 hours of drizzle.
Within a day, the seas (fades)…walking instead of crawling.
Mahalo.
