Narrative:

Departure control cleared us to intercept YELLO1 departure and fly on course. We apparently programmed the computer wrong and went direct to hanki intersection. Departure control pointed out our mistake, gave us a heading to intercept the yello departure. And again process on course. There was no traffic conflict and no danger to aircraft or passenger.
