June 29, 2014 Halfway
We are halfway from Suwarrow to Vava’u now. Punching through the swells at 8+ knots with single reef in main, full headsails. This afternoon had a close pass with the freighter “Cosmos” bound for Panama. They altered course for us after we radioed & we passed within .75 mile. Amazing two ships in the middle of the ocean can meet at the exact same point!
