Position: 23°13'N, 157°15'E
Remaining to Yokohama: 1,355 nm (ETA: 16-17 days)
Slower today as he was caught by a passing high pressure bulge that sapped the winds near him during much of yesterday. He made 75 DMG toward Hachijima, and was showing improved winds after jibing onto a more southerly heading. That was not converting well to progress, however, in the early part of the day. He expected to jibe again in a few hours onto a more favorable heading.
No other issues were indicated.
