Awesome....very inspiring! We just spoke about you a few days back  
wondering how you were making out.

G'day all, Swan Song is tied up on the Aloha dock at  the Hawaii Yacht Club.

We arrived yesterday at 1715 local  time.

18 days 1 hr 15 min 5.46 nm/hr
2654 nm
1052 gals 2.52  nm/gal So we could have made it without the extra
fuel...however I'm very  happy to arrive in Honolulu with ~700 gallons of
$2.25/gal Mexican diesel  still in the tanks

No major issues and few minor ones. Crew is still  speaking to each other 
;-)
NO fish but lots of lures missing from the bag!  @ gallons of ice cream
left!!

Head seas/winds for the first 4 days  then mild for next ten and then the
wind/seas piped up for the final run  into Hawaii. Last day was winds to 35
kts and seas to 25'. We hand steered  the last 8 hours as the seas were
confused and very large steep faced. No  place for an autopilot...even Swan
Song's ;-)

No waves over the  stern so the boat was dry for the entire trip once the
head _seas/waves left  coming out of Cabo....25 kts on the nose plus 15' 
seas
at 3-4 sec  period...ugly.

More details will follow after we get Swan Song from  passage configuration
back to cruising configuration.
