04 Oct Starr update 10/4/1200PDT
1100nm west of Laredo Mexico
27 45N, 133 36W
1012 hPa
SOG 7kn
Wind: N 9kn
DTG 1600nm with WP 25N,135W; 23N,136W; 21N,137W; 21N,145W; Hawaii 21N,158W rpm 1150/4gph Fuel on board: 2600usg Fuel range at 6-7kn; 3900-4500nm Fuel range at 8-9kts; 2600nm
Over the last 192 hours we have only run the gensets about 10 hours since leaving Cape Flattery. Our trusty 175 amp Leece Neville alternator is carrying the whole boat load at 27Vdc and about 95Amps. It is running the 240Vac 3 phase 4000cfm DeltaT Engine Room blower, The clothes washer and dryer, the Nespresso machine, Microwave and all the wheelhouse electronics. This guy has been doing this for over 10 years. What a champ!
We’ve slowed the engine rpm down to 1150rpm/4gph/6-7.5kn which cuts our consumption down from the 1250rpm/5gph/7-8kn.
New ETA to 25N,135W; 5/18Z
Our sea water temp is 77f and the air is also 77f.
We are waiting for the big cyclonic depression to move North from Hawaii and will take whatever time we need before turning west to the islands.
What a mess out there! Is there anyone still out there who dosen’t believe in global warming?
Sharry just pulled another loaf of homemade bread out of the oven, yumm!
We just stopped to retrieve a buoy only to find that it was part of a very long Long line with fresh bait on the hooks……uh oh, we put it back as we found it. No one shooting at us as of yet!
