Mike and James arrived safely in Halului, Maui (Hawaii) after flying a distance of approximately 3,987 kilometres in 21½ hours from Los Angeles.
We received a sms from Mike & James just before landing:We decided in flight to change our destination to Maui instead of Hilo once we knew we could make it because we will have friends meet us.
The first part of the flight was stressful because we took off in the dark for the first time and then fought 20 knot headwinds for the first 7 hours and only found the tailwinds after halfway accross. Total time 21.4 hrs and still have 3 hrs fuel left because we flew carefully being worried about going for a swim. Tired but smiling. Going in for a landing.
