Big low pressure system 500 miles north of Hawaii causing the trades to switch to south/east winds. They were light enough looking on predict wind but when we got in the Kaiwi Chanel we saw a mix of 8’ north swell and fresh south swell starting. We almost routed to Kaneohe bay but kept motor sailing in 5-12 knots of East wind. Very bumpy ride but finally made it to lono harbor for much needed protection and rest.
