Voyage to EHR, Day 20
Aloha from Aurelia at 22 degrees, 30 minutes north, and 150 degrees, 6 minutes west, at 9 a.m. Pacific Standard Time on Friday, May 25, Day 19 of the voyage. We are 440 miles from Honolulu.
Somebody has to open a kite store around here. It’s been blowing 25-plus knots for the past four days. Aurelia is blasting along with just one-quarter of her usual sail area and getting an additional boost in speed in every wave we surf down. A boat designed to do five knots is now hitting over nine, riding these trade wind waves.
Best wishes for a great weekend from Aurelia and the Hawaiian Eye Foundations. Mahalo.
John’s voyage is meant to raise awareness of the similar “expedition” surgeons undertake when converting to electronic health records and will also support the work of the Hawaiian Eye Foundation.
