Day 7. Today we motored from Ko Olina marina to the Hawaii Yacht Club marina right next to the famous Waikiki Beach.
The ride in the boat was about 4 hours long and pretty uneventful except that with plenty of diesel fumes and having to go below deck to pee, I managed to get fairly decently sea sick! I sat quietly leaning against the mast and looked at the horizon as instructed by Louis but I still felt waves of nausea and broke out in a sweat. Then I start to yawn and feel an overwhelming drowsiness. Jules yelled out "OMG, she's gone yellow!" and I gave a brave but weak smile and said I was alright. What I was really thinking was "Thank Goodness, we're gettig close to shore and moving into calmer waters. but Holy Shit what am I going to be like when we have 12 solid days of sailing out at sea on our way to the Marshall Islands. I can easily imagine myself wanting to throw myself over the side just to end the revolting feeling of being sick. All I can say is thank goodness for drugs. And every cloud has a silver lining. Maybe I'll trim down a few kilos!!
