After a sweet 19-day voyage from Monterey, California with my nephew Big T, I fetched up in Hanalei Bay, Kauai on s/v Pamela. The sailing was equal parts smooth and rollicking, wing-and-wing straight downwind on the rhumb line to Hanalei Bay. I’m starting to get the hang of it! This is my fifth voyage to Hanalei in Pamela.
As for those hanging wool socks—Aunt Kay sent me those as I was heading to Antarctica a few years ago. It was cold and gray the first week out of Monterey, perfect weather for Antarctic socks.
Rainbows, waterfalls, and spectacular sunsets abound. This is quite the landfall, perhaps the most beautiful bay I’ve ever sailed to, notwithstanding Fatu Hiva in the Marquesas.
