Hi everyone! Some connection issues yesterday but will try and get this out one last time as we are sooo close to Lahaina now. About 136 NM to go at 1320 HST, position N 2239 W 15454, speed is 7 knots and our last 24 hours of running was 159 NM.
Everyone is in great spirits and looking forward to a late morning arrival tomorrow! It's 28 degrees out right now and more Hawaiian seabirds are in view...
So, as we are nearing shore we will sign off from our sailmail address updates now until our arrival. Thanks for following along! We are all looking forward to seeing you all soon!

Xiomara
Life is short. When you have a dream, today is the time to make it happen. We are a team with a dream; we will be sailing across the Pacific Ocean straight to paradise. We all have our stories that brought us together on this journey. This adventure is about new friendships, excitement and life achievement.
Xiomara is brand new to the world of racing. She was born just before COVID in 2019. She is an X-Yacht 4.3. Xiomara stands for Ready for battle and the Brightest star in the universe. We are ready to shine our way to Maui, skippered by Aidan Walters. Elaine, Glyn, Ian, Isa, Kurt, Scott, Shannon and Steve are all members of the new family of Xiomara. We will be racing Patos Island, Southern Straights and Swiftsure this season. As part of our journey, we will be raising money for awareness on cancer research in the name of the BC Cancer foundation. Please donate if you know someone battling with this terrible disease so we can make a difference.
