Sure is and as I recall wind conditions can vary quite a bit. Had to have been a challenging run even with steady trades throughout. The run to Molokai looks like near a downwind shot, ouch. I guess the trades would bend around a bit near the islands though. That is some work if it played out that way. Wonder if the winds varied enough to allow using different muscle groups. A 100 miles on the same tack would be a bear.
