Made to Hawaii

I took the last half hour of net for Gary, WB6UQA, tonight, and was surprised to get a check in from Hawaii. Randy, KH6RC, checked in right before the end of the net. That's over 4,700 miles on a great circle -- pretty cool.

I'm not sure if that's my longest contact or not, but I've spoken to Europe several times, so I'll have to look into it. Anyway, making it all the way to Hawaii is pretty cool, and from a boat ta boot...

We're anchored off Titusville. It was a long day, so I'm pretty beat, but I'm glad we did it in a single day. We left at a little before 0900, and anchored just before 1700, and I never left the wheel.
