Narrative:
Klax-phnl-nstu-ymml, 22 hour crew day, refile/reclr flight release. 1 hour prior to reclr point, started calling on HF to stockholm and hnl radio, continued trying for 1 1/2 hours. Fuel required was 58300 pounds and we had 61000 pounds so we continued on to ymml instead of short-stopping at yssy. WX was good at ymml. Sydney had 18 KT crosswind. I decided to continue to ymml to keep within the crew day and support was already set up at ymml.
