Many thanks to Bill for that and to Skip for all the great intel and stories on sailing Hawai’i.

    Much fun to finally meet Lee and MORNING STAR at Howlands as he thoughtfully preps for a longish passage to the Hawaiian Islands and beyond. The boat in the foreground was our family Cal-40 #24, now RADIANT, launched in 1965, and beautifully restored by childhood friend and current owner, Fin Beven. Thanks to Fin for loaning RADIANT for a week at Catalina in her old stomping grounds.

    Though we didn't see any bison on the beach, there was an osprey observed close astern of RADIANT happily bathing in the shorebreak, then chasing a bald eagle, and flying overhead with a fish in its talons.

    And we were happy to find "Willard". the great blue heron, still resident from our visit two years previously.
