Kama Hele Evening Report
Aloha kākou,
3.13.09 Today was a slow-sailing, mostly gray day. Light northerly winds, usually about 10 knots, only rarely reaching 15 knots, kept the Hōkūle‘a and Kama Hele’s speed over ground in the 4-knot range. The clouds built all day, completely covering the sky with low, dark stratocumulus. Many squalls were around us and we finally got rained on. After sunset, some clearing has occurred and stars are visible overhead, but not on the horizon where they are most useful to the navigator.
