Hauling out for the summer on the 27th. Boat yard , at No4, takes about 30 boats

very light signal but got the facts from Villamee relay. Looking to return to Vavauu at the end of the week or early next week.

good wind direction for the trip to Nuie. Thanks Trevor for the relay

We have been in Va V'au for 10 days now and are adjusting to cruising life without so much movement. We are sleeping in the berth instead of on cockpit cushions on the floor and eating yummy fruit.

We have jury rigged the SSB aerial after it broke on passage and it seems to be working well. We are testing it regularly with Golf Harbour radio and have a new one on warrantee on standby to come if we think we need it for the trip home in October.

Family and friends to visit over the next month so we are excited to share all we are seeing and experiencing.

On their way to Vavauu. The whip antenna broke which explains the radio transmit problem but they can hear GHRadio and get wx faxes so all good

Taken from spot tracker as I cannot hear them on ghRadio

all well. GHRadio are away for two days so no report until Monday

all well

all well on their way to Vavauu

Left home 12th May, In Napier ready to leave for Tonga when weather permits.
