Kris did get a mention in 'The Coastal Passage'  a very good Aussie on-line mag, well worth a look at if you have not come across it.  That said, the link to Kris's article does no longer appear to work. 

Kehaar is due to leave Hawaii today, bound for the Philippines and then on to Darwin, Australia, where Kris will complete his circumnavigation.

Contrary to my previous comment (my misunderstanding), Kehaar's sail was in bad shape, and Kris spent much of the 10 days he was in port building a new sail.  Having built several over the last 30 years and 100,000 miles, he has had plenty of practice. He had also broken his boom in a gybe and could not find a suitable replacement in the time available, so made the new sail with one less panel (utilising existing battens) and is sailing boomless.  You will have to wait until the June edition of the JRA magazine, when Kris will feature in my HOF series, for further details.

I can relate to that. Once, when I was approaching Northern Ireland after a rough passage from Scotland, and was shaking out reefs as I gained some shelter from the land, the CG came onto the VHF, saying that he had a report of a boat in trouble, in my position, and asking if anyone could see anything. I radioed back, saying "that'd be me, as there's nobody else around, and I'm fine, I'll be in harbour in 30 minutes from now". Clearly some busybody, who didn't know what he was looking at, had made a phone call to the CG. If I hadn't had a VHF radio, I can quite imagine that the lifeboat would have been sent out to check, and that might well have generated an equally foolish article in the local paper.

For those interested in Kris's story here is a recent post of his current state and a little insight into his mind set via his wife's blog.

Kris is busy restocking Kehaar with provisions and water and attending to the boat's needs.  He only asked immigration for 10 days, (though they were happy to grant him an extension if needed), since Kehaar has no major problems.  Contrary to reports, the sail is not in poor shape.  It may be a classic case of people not understanding junk rigs.  They can look untidy when furled or reefed.  Also, Kehaar has a workboat finish, in keeping with the sort of cruising Kris frequently does, visiting 3rd world harbours that do not have yachting facilities.  He expects to be underway in a few days.
