Noon Report -- Kauai - Neah Bay, Day 3

We are still clipping along in the northerly direction, gaining two degrees of latitude each day. The rig is almost perfectly balanced under double reefed main and the staysail set on the headstay and, consequently, Rangval is doing an excellent job of steering. still sailing a bit to windward of a beam reach.

We suffered a bit of a non-sailing setback when Jean discovered weevils in the Mexican organic brown rice and also found that three of our four bags of outmeal now have water in them. We put the rice in the freezer to kill the weevils and discarded the wet outmeal. This is not very serious, since we carry a lot of food.

At UTC 2200, July 15, 2012, we are at 27 37.624 N, 159 35.256 W. Our day's run was 120 miles/
