On to Oahu




Boat left Kauai Sunday Aug 5 and sailed all night to Ko Olina Marina http://www.koolinamarina.com/


on southwest corner of Oahu.


The goal her is to load aboard new batteries and have some repairs fabricated to the boom




Jon Wayte http://www.waytetoolandmachine.com/index.html met Devon aboard and the have agreed on a price to repair the metal that had fatigued.




Interstate Batery of Hawaii was a bit of a dissappointment. After prepaying 2 weeks in advance, and being told the batteries were in stock.....Devon called Monday andwas told "the shipment gets in on Wednesday". Bummer. The reason for 2 weeks pre pay was to ensure that batteries would be standing by upon arrival. Let's hope Interstate Batteries delivers Thursday as promised. Hey it's only 2 extra days at a multi million dollar marina. grrrr.
