We arrived yesterday morning in Hilo, Big Island, Hawaii greeted by two humpback whales jumping clear out of the water. All is well, we look forward to go hiking, snorkeling, and exploring what seems to be a gorgeous island. Today we enjoyed our first fresh fruits and veggies after weeks of canned pinneapples....! More news and pics to come soon.
For the new crew joining in Hawaii, please keep an eye on emails for more info soon.

Congrats Tribe for completing the first leg of your journey! And greetings from the sacred Mt. Batukaru of Bali!
ReplyDeleteAfter lingering for 2 more months in the Philippines and a 3-month retreat in the mountains of Bali, I am returning to somewhere close to where I started the voyage with Infinity to join a beautiful traditional pinisi and learn the ropes (knots) again in the New Year:)
Have fun in Hawaii! May Pele bless you!
Hey, I love your list of milestones on that crossing! Really fun! The 160 Toblerone and 56 jars of peanutbutter are the two entries I love most -- astounding!!
