I am approaching destination, only 33 mile left, tomorrow will arrive. i am the latest one, but i don’t worry, actually i am quite happy for myself, the last two are all solo and small thing, last second is the guy from isreal driving a professional sailing cat x, similar as Hobie cat 16, just smaller, this one sailing is very fast

Mine is multiple functions TI, for leisure, for sailing, for fishing, so not fast. The Isreal guy he is deserves be earlier arrive end line than me,

Other all small vehicle all quite, even one sail boat also quite

Its not easy, like yesterday and today, weather forecast is wrong, yesterday i only sail 30 minutes, others all use peddlers because no wind. Today i only sail 1 mile, others all need to use peddlers, that is why my drive eroded very fast. But at other side, weather forecast say no wind, actually suddenly there is a storm. This is this area, people call this water area is graveyard of pacific, there is a good reason

Alway check gust no others, and multiple 3 times, this is what actually might happen. HMB, SC, MBK or California water experience cannot apply here, i still keep Learning in this OJT

Awesome perseverance, Mr. X! I can only imagine how hard it was to get back on the boat the morning after your one night in bed on land and start chugging north again. Good luck with your finish and your trip home!

He's about 8 miles out but I don't think he will get there before midnight, but probably around 1 or 2 am is my guess.

Often after an ordeal like this (being "On" for 18 days) people can develop a bit of PTSD or difficulty adjusting back to a non-intense lifestyle.
