8/19- 0800 hours: Barometer 30.00. Winds 5-8 knots. NE. grey overcast. calm seas. What a beautiful day it is so far! The things I think the most about out here is all of the activities, adventures, experiences, and peopl from the past. I try to go deep and re-live these things in my mind complete with sounds and smells. Our sub-concious stores all of this info- just breaking that barrier and bring it back is the challenge. The most dangerous times I have had so far was when I wore my ankle safety leash. I tripped twice and fell in the H2O once. So do you want to know where that leash is? Stored away. I have very good balance and agility, and trust my feet when they are free. Since it hasn`t been to rough, it is easy to move around. If I did fall off, the windsurfer stops, plus I always leave the fishing lines in. I feel safe. 24*31N 138*43W.
8/20-0630 hours: Yesterday ended up with some squal lines of wind coming through. I sailed sailed in total darkness for awhile, before the moon came uo. Earlier, I had 0 knots of wind and I rowed. This El Nino has alot of people worried in California. On Talk Radio last night they were discussing the prediction of a rough winter. 1900 hours. I think Ethel(wind), has a very strong affection for me , because she really seems to want to keep me out here for a long timeQ Winds 5-10 knots. 29.90 Barometer. Usually on aui, I take 2-3 showers a day. Out here I wash my hair once a week, body twice, a week, and face daily. Wearing lycra all the time, I don`t feel dirty or salty. The lycra lifts the salt 
and dirt off of me well. When it gets real sunny, I have a 100% ultra-violet block shirt. I wear, a big visor, Maui Jim sunglasses, sunblock , gloves/ and even a noseguard. My lower body Hangs Loose, so that is where I`ll be tan! I am sure are worried about me. I feel that is a useless waste of thought and energy. Why worry? What will worrying do to help me with the wind? How can anyone help me at all by worrying? No one can help me! That`s it They can only help themselves. They could find out what the weather pattern has been on my route. Has the Coast Guard recieved any ermergency messages? Personally, I feel the words "worry" and "sorry" sub-conciuosly make a person carry around a lot of guilt. After taking hypnotherapy training, I have been aware of a lot of things that most people are either clueless to, or never gave any thought to. Our subconcious mind is like a mainframe of a computer. Billions, upon billions of bits of energy thoughts can be stored in it. Why use the concious mind or the computer screen which are both limtied, when ther is so much more underneath? P.S. I wrote this in the dark just after sunset. 23*54N 140*36W.
8/21- Calm again today. Got a lot of sailing in last night. Did laundry today. Clean dry clothes. 23*59N 141*58W Great green flash tonight.
8/22-1400 hours: Awoke this morning to squalls all around me. Got 20 knots for a bit and then 5 knots. The winds are now more E and it looks like I`ll have to lay off. (8/5-0700 hours. Are you there? Close? Whatever, sucess is the ultimate. Patience. Steve, patience, it willpay off.) 8/22 Tack downwind. I`m now on port tack. I hope ther is a lot of people that think I`m dead `cause I sure go for a "BIG MEAL" now. Fish taco`s - Moose`s; Avalon - Carman miranda; Kimo`s- Carrot muffins; Pizza Paradiso - Vege; Compadre`s - Margaritas; Hula Grill - Chili H2O + Seared ahi; Luau`s -The salad bar; Hard Rock - Banana split; Maui Taco`s - Two visits; Erick`s - Clams; Roy`s - That dessert; Westin - Seafood bar two times; Longhi`s - Breakfast two times + Jalepeno cheese bread; So everyone, keep your hopes down, wear black, wonder if you`re in my will, `cause my belly is going to be treated real well when I get there! About two weeks left. 23* 39N 142*54W 2000 hours. Noodles in an Italian herb glaze with Parmesean grits. Hell, I bet I ate better than a billion people on earth. I do not have it bad, just a little slow. Keep wishing me dead. Most interesting night so far! Listening to talk radio with Art Bell and the topic is my favorite, quatum physics. More detailed is the Ten Dimensions with Michio Kaku. Discussion is time warps, black holes, and level 0,1,2,3 civilizations. Earth is level 0 to physicists. We are at the realm of becoming a level 1. He refers often to Stephen Hawkins, the most intelligent mind on Earth at the moment. 8/23- 10p14 knots. All men will die, but a man of achievements will live on thruogh the lips of alive men. S.F. 1700 hours. Can`t help but write down a bit of philosophy here and there. Had a mahi on the line today, but lost it. Too bad for me! 23*31N 144*24W 8/24- 1400 hours. Flew the kite last night, it fell this AM. 10 knots all day. At htis rate, my arrival should be Tues.- Wed., Sept.2nd or 3rd. Don`t know until I hit the beach. Not in a very ggod mood today. As I wrote earlier, the last week or so will be the one that requires the most patience. 23*24N 145*32W 8/25 - 0400 hours. Up early, can`t sleep, no wind, but I am recieving a radio station from Hilo which is 450 miles away. Stayed up and sailed late last night. Was wild sailing at night; wind was ok. Trying to do everything possible to keep going forward. 0900 hours. Saw three birds that were different than I normally have seen, flying right from the direction that I am going. That means land. My question is, how did they fly 450 miles this morning already? So far, I can only recieve radio at night due to the sun`s interfernce during the day. Soon, Wed.- Thurs., I`ll be able to pick-up Hilo better. 23*07N 146*42W
