Entered SW to NE then NW to SE. Got the 3/18z fix. CARCAH satcommed and said the 04/00z fix was cancelled. They asked that we finish the two-fix alpha to the SE, and then head W back to Lihue at FL100 to track winds close to the island. On our second pass, experienced severe clear air turbulance and had to sacrifce the second fix that would have been a bonus to CPHC anyway. The crew talked about it and decided that was the best decision. Max SFMR Wind: 59kt Max Drop SFC Wind: 64kt Max FL Wind (Outbound NE): 83kt Drop SFC ctr: 992 Penetrations Logged: 0 ARWO:____________________________________ Penetrations Verified: Verifier:____________________________________ Penetrations Posted: Awards:____________________________________
