My last day of work was Friday and this was @Christy and I start to full time cruising. We figured if we went to Kaneohe, we’d have potentially better wind angles to go either to Molokai, Waimea, or Kauai so we’ll spend a week here planning that. Started early in the morning after a late night of prep. About 15-18 with 20 knot gusts mostly out of the east. Was really nice wind but swell was big around diamond head so we headed 9 miles offshore to get out of that. Ended up having to short tack our way up to Makapuʻu and had a reach from Maks to Kaneohe in about 10-12 knots of wind. No fish but lots of sea birds going around the islands. Excited for our new chapter of finally doing what we dreamed of.
