Nice 10-12 knot breeze out of WSW. Tacked up the Kolohi channel west (very rare to have these conditions as trade winds run from east to west). Unfortunately our batteries have not been getting topped up so we still have to run our engine to charge them and make water. Drank coffee, ate Molokai hot bread, generally just relaxed on the sail back. North swell and wind direction prevented us from going north Molokai back to Oahu so we had to backtrack to Kaunakakai to get setup for a Wednesday crossing of the Kaiwi channel. We’re going to be going back to lono harbor tomorrow so our sail on Wednesday isn’t so long. Been great being able to log all this! p.s. Didn’t have take any pictures during the crossing but ended up renting a car to explore the island when getting to Kaunakakai. Had a little wind spout form as we were getting to the harbor
