Very light head winds motored through the night.

At anchor Musket Cove

good conditions for a trip to NE of island. Good weather

The PawPaw tow was successful. The patrol boat did not appear at any of the meeting places but did get to Momi Bay to take over escort duties. Yhanks to all concerned in that effort. And a big WELL DONE to Talulah Ruby.

Have been holding by disabled PawPaw for 18 hours. Pawpaw has lost steering after a big wave broke the cabeling. Pawpaw is a 46' Catamaran. The Fiji naval vessel Kula was meant to be there this morning but now not expected until noon so Talulah Ruby will attempt a tow. They have 200 plus feet of rope and will contact maritime radio when they get underway. GHRadio have updated weather forecast for the next couple of days. Taululah Ruby have had trouble contacting Maritime but Pawpaw and then will also try Northland radio.

Miserable day yesterday due t several squalls and big eas. Mostly from ESE but confused.

eta Vuda on Monday evening

all Ok and a good radio signal. Surprising at this far south

thanks to Chris on Trigger for the relay. All wellwx wise

Thanks Chez Nous for the relay. They are too close to GHRadio for me to copy.

Waiting in BOI marina Opua hope to leave Monday 1st May for Fiji. Winds are looking good but there could be 2-3 mtr waves.

Talulah Ruby 111 waiting in Russell for a weather window to leave for Fiji. Early next week looks good at the moment.

engine stopped working this morning, hove-to. Changed filters all seems good now. Bashing into 2mtr waves with wind on the nose pretty uncomfortable, waiting for wind to go SE. All's well on board. Unable to receive GHR today.
