Warren and Erica depart Tahiti aboard their C-Cat 48, Newton, on a 2,300-nautical-mile passage to Hawaii — nearly due north, crossing the equator and the doldrums from the South Pacific to the North Pacific.▶ 11:28 The boat had just come out of charter and required significant pre-departure work; a technician spent a full day replacing the hydraulic pump and hydraulic ram on the autopilot before departure was possible.▶ 4:19 Checking out of French Polynesia required all crew to appear in person at the airport with passports.▶ 3:57 The crew of five motored through Papeete's controlled airspace corridor to Marina Taina, calling the tower for mast-clearance permission, then stopped overnight at Moorea — anchoring without going ashore, a gray area under their clearance — for a morning snorkel with sharks and rays before the official departure.▶ 4:11 Day one delivers 20 knots of wind, boat speeds averaging 9–10 knots at 45–50 degrees apparent, and a tuna on the trolling line within hours.▶ 13:08 Warren notes the passage is elevated-risk given the boat's age and condition, and the crew plans to sail conservatively while monitoring weather models closely.▶ 12:00 A spoiler warns that the favorable conditions do not last.▶ 17:37
