Hawaii to Tarawa Voyage, Update #43

Day 42. Monday 14 June 1999 0305 GMT
Wind E 3-4. Heading 210M.
Latitude: 06deg 51.659N
Longitude: 177deg 02.566W

Awful day. Pedal unit drive shaft sheared this morning around 10am and have been since cannibalizing the other units to make one good one. Grease everywhere, boat lurching around making working on the units extremely trying. First time I've been seas sick since departure. It's now 5pm so I have 2 hrs of day light left to work in. Maybe rowing wouldn't be so bad after all.
