Japanese-speaking broadcasts in Hawaii are slowly fading. I still can't receive signals from an AM radio station in Japan. How I wish I could hear a baseball game! I can't wait for one.

The green bananas I received on departure have become pretty ripe. Perhaps tomorrow is the last day they'll be good for eating. There's a lot left over though…

I shampooed with salt water for the first time this voyage. It really does feel good, as expected.

Today I saw a beautiful albatross.
