Some excitement on Amazing Grace last night when the afterguy foot block failed and broke free from the deck. Fortunately no one injured. Was able to douse kite, jibe, and set new kite, sailing at a slightly less favorable jibe angle, but still heading toward Hawaii. Get those Mai Tais ready, we're thirsty!

Another spectacular day and night. When we drop into a wave and start to surf, the interior of the boat hums like we're inside a gigantic trumpet. Above 15 knots the pitch changes suddenly and then it sounds more like the World's Largest Harmonica. Fun times!
On the down side, we've suffered a minor malfunction in our AC system so we can no longer use our generator to charge the batteries or the reefer. Fortunately we can still charge using the main engine (out of gear of course) and we anticipate being in Honolulu before the food in the fridge gets warm.
