sailing from Kauai to Oahu
Sylvia & I did the delivery sail from Kauai to Oahu last summer and we had a delightful sail. We were told to expected the trip to take 36 hours and advised to clear lands end of Kauai by sunrise it order to get in the lee of Oahu by the time the afternoon winds really kicked in. We left Hanalei Bay around 2:30 or 3 AM as I recall, and the Hawkfarm 28 being a bit on the slow side, we had maybe 2-3 hrs of uncomfortable upwind miles but nothing a couple of reefs couldn't handle. In the end, the trip only took 24 hrs which added some drama with arriving at 0 dark thirty instead of the light of day. We also got some weather advice regarding which day to leave from a local, Mitchell Alapa with Hawaii Surf Adventures, who drove the escort boat last year.
