It was about 2700kt miles from Cabo to Hilo Hawaii, 6 weeks in hawaii
waitinig for the Pacific Hi to stabilize then about 2700 from Oahu to
Astoria at the mouth of the Columbia.
We took the Bajahaha down from San Diego to Cabo, then spent the season
in Mexico. We decided to go back to the North West via Hawaii to take
advantage of the Monitor wind vane. It is an old Swan 38, mono hull. We
were able to keep the speed up pretty well and had fairly good wind on
the way over, usually from kept speed up to 4.5 to 7kts, with only one
day with less. On the way back we went further because we had to go
around the high, but had better wind and went a bit faster. If we got
over 7.5 I would slow it down. Small crew, and I didn't need anything
to break a long way from a chandlery.
Only had one problem on the trip. Rod went through the motor in
Cabo, only had 400 hours on it, and Yanmar paid for everything. I, like
many cruisers, have a web site at harlanadventures.com. If you look on
yachtworld.com you will see it for sail in Portland OR.
