Stuck in Hilo
Well if you have to be stuck waiting on weather and maintenance issues...I guess Hilo is as good as any as opposed to the middle of no-where third world country.

According to FlightAware he is now at PHOG. Hope his problems are minor and he found a good place for the plane.

RTW trip update
Due to concerns of potential damage to the plane from Hurricane Hector at Hilo, I relocated "May" to the island of Maui. Thanks to the VAF community (Ed, Scott, Eric, and Brad) I was able to secure a hanger at Kahului Airport (PHOG).
The winds aloft forecast for the Hawaii/California flight does not look favorable for the next two weeks. I decided to fly home commercially, rest and prepare for the final leg of the trip. When I return to Hawaii on August 21, I will complete work on the aircraft, fly back to Hilo, and wait for right moment to fly the 2000+nm to California.
