Forecast was for tapering of downwind trades and favourable ocean waves by noon and then wind and wave reversal. While many of our Primo friends forfeited their entry fees to avoid, in their minds pointless punishment into headwinds the Canadians who had traveled this far decided to chance it. The forecast was sadly accurate. Halfway across to Molokai the tail winds died and seas flattened for a short time before headwinds built with 2 m waves.
