All continues well, under gradually weakening winds, during the 24-hr period that saw a DOG of 105 nm and DMG of 103 nm. He's now 197 nm from Honolulu.
Skies are partly cloudy with no squalls since yesterday. Winds were favorable from the ENE at a weakish 7-10 kts on 1.5 m seas. He continues on a starboard tack since yesterday, under full genoa.
He motored for about 3 hours yesterday when winds eased to less than required to keep the headsail full.

By this morning he had returned it to 100% open when winds became more favorable from the ENE.
