We are about 44nm from our waypoint at the Bay of Islands and if this wind holds we should reach the waypoint around 1300. Maybe even clear in this afternoon! All is well on board.

Tacking downwind toward Aneityum to decide whether to continue on to Tanna. If the swell is still large and easterly Tanna may not be good? Nice weather with the seas more moderate than yesterdays washing machine of large waves! If conditions continue we can reach Tanna by tomorrow afternoon. All is well on board.

Light wind overnight is filling in this morning with seas building out of the east. We are expecting the seas to be a bit rough by tomorrow with the wind on the stern. All is well open board.

In Isle of Pines for a couple of very nice days. Tomorrow probably to Bay de Prony.

We moved to Ilot Mato yesterday, another very pretty anchorage. Today to head to Isle of Pines. All is well on board.

We are anchored at Ilot Ua in the south lagoon, but with the wind shifting westerly and increasing we will move to more shelter this morning. All is well onboard.

We left Port Vila Friday and are now approaching New Caledonia. Light wind on the stern so we have been motor sailing since yesterday afternoon.Beautiful morning with calm seas and clear blue sky.

sailed around from Havannah yesterday. Fine weather, warm clear water, all is good!

In Havannah Harbor having sailed down from Revoleau Bay on Monday. All is well here.

Sailed in 15-20 ESE yesterday to Lamen Bay on Epi. Peaceful anchorage with lots of turtles.

In Port Sandwich on S. Malekula with several other boats. Calm, hazy and quiet this morning. No ash!

Quiet and hazy in Banan Bay on S. Malekula having sailed from Lolton Bay on N. Pentecost yesterday. The Ambae volcano was still spewing tons of gritty ash and, after being dusted a couple more times, we decided that was enough. Hopefully, we are far enough to the SE to be out of the way now! A nice anchorage here.

We sailed to Lolton Bay on Pentecost from Marino Bay on Maewo yesterday. The plan had been to spend a week or so up in Maewo but the volcano on Ambae changed that plan. For the second time in 2 weeks we got covered in ash as the volcano erupted with ejection of great amounts high into the atmosphere. Upper level winds were from the west carrying the ash cloud to the east and surface winds from the southeast brought it back over us on north Maewo. We washed the boat yesterday morning but, with the ash still falling, decided to head south. So we got covered again on the way down but finally are out of the ash cloud here in Lolton. We will be cleaning ash from deck, hull and rigging for some time! The volcano was still shooting ash very high yesterday evening with deep booms but, so far, we are far enough south that it is not landing on us! All is well here.

Sailed down to Turtle Cove in Peterson Bay several days ago after a couple of weeks at Port Orly.

In Port Orly. We got a heavy dusting of ash from the volcano in Ambae yesterday. It is about 50-60nm SE of us but the wind was strong from the SE and blew a dense cloud of ash right to us. All morning on cleanup. The forecast looks good for us to head to Gaua on Wednesday. Hopefully the Ambae volcano won?t burp again before that!

We will hang here in Port Olry until the wind settles up in the Banks, probably Tuesday or Wednesday. Have a great time Patricia!!!

In Port Olry on Santo overcast again this morning but no rain. SE breeze although well protected in the anchorage. Waiting for the wind to settle off shore to sail up to the Banks Islands.

At Port Olry on Santo it has been overcast and with a strong S breeze although well protected in the anchorage. Maybe more sunshine today.

Anchored at Port Olry on Santo. Cool and overcast again this morning.

Anchored at Port Olry on Santo. Cool and overcast this morning.

Anchored at Port Olry on Santo. Another beautiful anchorage. Peter Weatherhill fixed the windlass yesterday. An experienced marine engineer and great person to know in Santo.

In Hog Harbor on Santo. Anchored in 15m but the windlass stopped working. Will be sorting that this AM with Peter Weatherhill who is based back near Oyster.

We may leave with the high tide today to sail up the Santo coast to Hog Harbor.

We are still anchored near the Turtle Bay Resort on Santo. Moving to Port Orly in a day or two. All is well here.

We are still anchored near the Turtle Bay Resort on Santo. All is well aboard.

We are now anchored near the Turtle Bay Resort on Santo. Oyster Island is still closed to yachts and the pass through the inner reef is not properly marked. Although there are 2 poles to mark the entrance to that pass it is narrow and there is no mark at the end where a turn to starboard is required. Without a good track or at least good waypoints it would be difficult. The new owners of Oyster are due to build a ?temporary? bridge to the mainland in October which will block the south entrance. This may be the last visit here for some time!

We will be moving from the Beachfront anchorage this morning, probably up the coast to Aesi.

Still at Beachfront in Luganville, warm and humid with rain yesterday.

In Luganville at the Beachfront. SSB has a problem with the microphone jack. Sat phone has a balky cable connector. Things seem to happen in pairs! Otherwise all is well.

Showers last night at Aore. Had a pleasant sail on light winds from Vao yesterday.

Sent from my iPhone

Leaving Vao this morning to sail over to Luganville for some provisions.

Nice morning at Vao island in NE Malekula. We motored from Rano yesterday and will stay here until tomorrow then up to Luganville.

Motored and sailed to Rano Island off NE Malekula yesterday. Clear, calm anchorage. All is well aboard.

Calm clear morning at Port Sandwich. Rained yesterday, mostly heavy. Deciding whether to motor north or wait for some wind to sail with.

Heavy rain yesterday afternoon and last night. Overcast this morning. All is well on board.

Back in Port Sandwich, South Malekula for the next few days while waiting for wind to sail north. All is well aboard.

Anchored behind Awei island in the Maskelynes. Solid rain yesterday but flat and calm in the anchorage. All is well on board.

Calm in the anchorage. Moved to Gaspard Bay in S Malekula yesterday to see if the dugongs are still here and they are. All is well on board.

Anchored at Port Sandwich after an easy sail over from Lamen Bay yesterday. Calm and quiet in this Anchorage. Had a nice swim with the turtles at Lamen also the coral there was in surprisingly good condition.

Anchored in Lamen Bay on Epi. Calm and clear with a full moon. Moving to Port Sandwich later this morning.

Anchored in Havannah Harbor but leaving for Epi shortly. All is well aboard.

Moored at Yachting World Marina in Port Vila, but leaving to sail around to Port Havannah this morning.

Safely moored at Yachting World Marina in Port Vila. Had a quick passage from Erromango yesterday and a great quiet sleep last night!

We are underway for Port Vila and should arrive late afternoon today. It would be helpful if the wind were to back to more easterly. All is well aboard.

We are still at at Dillon?s Bay on Erromango. Blue skies and warm water. Had a nice swim over to the reef from the boat yesterday. More swims today. Thinking of sailing to Efate at 0 dark 30 tomorrow AM to arrive at Port Vila in the late afternoon. All is well here.

We are at at Dillon?s Bay on Erromango with a calm anchorage. I made a typo yesterday about Will and Sheila restaurant. It is at the head of the bay which is the SW side (Not NW as I misstyped). Their restaurant hut is visible from the anchorage.

We will be leaving Port Resolution this morning and planning a stop at Dillon?s Bay on Erromango about 50nm NNW. We had an interesting tour to the volcanic vents that are on the NW side of the anchorage here. Willy and Sheila from the village there took us put the vents and some great views of the island and anchorage. They are getting a restaurant going to raise money to support the village there. They can use kitchen supplies and utensils. IF you stop here any help would be appreciated. Their tour is well worth trading some useful supplies or paying their 1000Vt fee.

We had a great visit to Mt Yasgur volcano yesterday evening. Yasgur was booming. Watching and feeling the explosions of lava from a couple of hundred meters away is a spectacle not to be forgotten! Then a wonderful meal prepared by Leah back at the Port Resolution village finished off a fine night. We are planning to walk around to the steam vent beside the anchorage today. Tomorrow to sail to Dillon?s Bay on Erromango island.

Showery with light wind. Hoping for some improvement to go up the Mt. Yasgur volcano this evening. All is well aboard.

All is well aboard. Safely tucked in to Port Resolution awaiting customs visit this AM. Showers last night but clearing now. Slight swell sneezing in to the anchorage so a bit rolly but warm and peaceful. Nice to have a full night?s sleep!

All is well aboard. We hove to north side of Aneityum last night for a few hours and decided to move on to Tanna. Now dragging our feet near Port Resolution waiting for the sun up for good light to enter. Nice watching Mt. Yasgur lighting up the sky during the night!

All is well aboard. 90nm from waypoint at ANeityum. We will give it a look tonight and decide whether to go in at night or continue on another 50nm to Tanna fort the morning.

All is well aboard after a gusty squally night. Still squalls around the boat but winds quiet for a moment. Thinking a good night sleep at Aneityum will be appreciated!

Motorsailing with nice breeze close on the stern. Will turn off the motor shortly and sail with one sail. All is well on board. Looking forward to Patricia and David?s weather report! Forgot that yesterday was Sunday and no Report!

Light wind from SE filling in this morning. Gentle swell building a bit. Hopefully we will be able to hear Patricia and David this AM! All is well on board.

The wind backed during the night to make for much better sailing. We still have the reefs in from last night and will shake them out shortly. All is well on board!

All is well aboard. We have been motor sailing off and on during the night with the wind soft on the stern and quartering sea. Motor off now and will shake a reef out shortly.

We are at BOI Marina planning departure for Aneityum this morning after clearing customs.

We are at BOI Marina planning departure for tomorrow, Thursday. We are going to Aneityum.

Back in Whangarei this morning. All is well here and will be staying put for a couple of months now.

Anchored in Parua Bay now after anchored last night in Tutukaka Harbor. Quiet sheltered corner here, called The Nook. Nice weather and easy sailing all the way from Bay of Islands. Tomorrow to work out the plan for Whangarei.

In Whangaruru Harbor after a nice sail from the Bay of Islands.

Left Bay of Islands Marina this morning and anchored in Omakiwi Cove. I think I will move around to the other side of Cape Brett tomorrow. Maybe to Whangaruru or Whangamumu depending on what the wind is doing.

Arrived safely yesterday morning. In the berth at BOI Marina. A great night sleep does wonders!

Motorsailed last night with slow going. Good sailing this morning but will put the motor on again as present course will not clear North Cape. There is a west setting current that sets about 20 degrees to the west and I am hoping that with the tide change it will turn around and set the other way. So far not yet! All is well with a beautiful morning about 25nm north of North Cape and 102nm to Opua.

Still motor sailing to keep sped up and get as far along as possible before the expected stronger headwinds arrive later. Then I will see what works after that. Had some heavy rain showers last night and this morning with a bit of lightning. There are still squalls in the area but I managed to get 20 gallons transferred from the deck to the tank between squalls. 224 nm to Opua and hope to be approaching there tomorrow night.

still sailing as close on the wind as possible. Showers and squally this morning but wind shifted to ENE for little while so I actually made a bit of easting. It has shifted back mostly now but steering 150 is much better than the 170 of most of yesterday. 363 nm to the Bay of Islands. Damp but well on board.

Bay of Islands is Brg 147 about 496nm. About 55nm NE of Norfolk Island. IF the wind would back 10 degrees or so I could make it on this tack! Been close hauled on port tack since leaving New Cal Tuesday afternoon. Living the slant is tiresome but no storms and good progress.

Still not able to steer the rumbh line but making good progress. Some rain showers last night. Getting used to living on the slant!

Still in Port Moselle will decide this morning but on my way to clear out and should clearing the reef by later this afternoon. It looks this morning like I should be able to reach Opua before the low arrives with headwinds down there.

Still in Port Moselle will decide this morning whether to leave today.

Still in Port Moselle marina. Probably until after front passes later this week. Have to find a way to get free of the Velcro in this marina!-

in Port Moselle marina waiting for the next window for our pleasant sail to Opua.

Calm and overcast back in Port Moselle waiting for the next window to NZ.

Still anchored at Baie Papaye. Very gusty again yesterday and some rain overnight.

Moved from Port Moselle yesterday and am anchored at Baie Papaye about 9nm to the NW. With the wind gusting SE at 30kn yesterday it was the best the place to go. The marina needed my berth and the harbor in Noumea is packed. Protected from the strong easterlies it is a good anchorage.

Berthed at Port Moselle Marina in Noumea. Ready for coffee and croissant!

At anchor in Baie Ile on Ile Ouen. Had a great night?s sleep! Will move on to Noumea after breakfast.

26nm from Havannah channel entrance. Had fast run down but still missed the tide this morning. Going slow now to wait for the incoming tide this afternoon.

left Port Vila yesterday afternoon on the way to New Caledonia. Fast sailing so far. All is well aboard.

All is well on the mooring at Port Vila.

Still on the mooring at Port Vila. Waiting for fair wind to go to New Caledonia. Maybe Tuesday?

Still on the mooring at Port Vila. Waiting to sail to New Caledonia but don?t trust the front approaching there close to arrival time. Likely here for another week or so.

Still on the mooring at Port Vila. Looking for a weather window to sail S to New Caledonia. Perhaps Thursday?

Still on the mooring at Port Vila. We had some showers last night but clearing this morning. I plan to hang here for a week and then wait for a window to head south to New Caledonia.

On the mooring at Port Vila. Had a fast close reach from Epi yesterday. Reload with snacks today!

Under way from Epi to Port Vila. Light rain but pleasant sailing.

The wind lightened during the day from the SE and made an easier motor sail. I decided to spend the night at Banam Bay on Malekula. I will sail to Epi today.

Leaving this morning for Port Vila. Wind still gusting to 20kn from ESE. Hoping that settles soon. I should arrive tomorrow afternoon if the wind backs a bit and settles.

Still anchored at Luganville. Hoping to start SE toward Port Vila tomorrow.

Anchored at Luganville. Had winds 15-20 from ESE for the sail yesterday. Big Independence Day Festival all weekend here. Millennium Cave tour today.

Anchored at Ranon, Ambrym, hopefully to see the volcano this week. Perhaps tomorrow? Had 15-20 SE with some strong gusts along Pentecost yesterday.

Anchored at Lolton on NE Pentecost Island. Some strong gusts coming over the ridge and some rain last night. Sailing this morning for Ambrym, hopefully to see the volcano this week.

Anchored at Lolton on NE Pentecost Island. Beautiful day yesterday. Showers last night and occasional gusts over the mountain ridge. Friendly village, Matthew and Mary to prepare a meal for us and show us around. Glenda to give us a tour of the haunted cave. We will sail to Ambrym tomorrow.

Anchored in vanilla Bay at Ambae Island. Leaving for Lolton on Pentacost this morning. Had a good crossing from Santo yesterday. Followed David?s suggestion. Had a fast close reach to Devil?s Point and then stayed in with land for easy motor sail to the anchorage.

Anchored at Aese Island. Leaving for Ambae this morning.

Anchored by Oyster Island resort in flat calm warm weather. Disappointed that the new owners of the resort do not want cruisers on shore and are not maintaining the markers through the inner reef. Only two marks left so without a good track the narrow pass is treacherous.

Anchored at Louganville Bay after a nice downwind sail from Port Stanley yesterday. May move around to Oyster Island after some provisioning this morning.

In Port Stanley after changing plans yesterday. Ambrym had dense cloud cover and with showers in the forecast we decided head north. Had 18-20kn from SE for the sail yesterday. We will sail to Louganville this morning.

In Gaspard Bay in the Maskelynes, but planning to sail to Ambrym this morning, about 30nm to Ranvetlam. Less windy but still gusts up to 25kn. Overcast and chilly. Hoping for some clearing tomorrow to maybe walk unto the volcano.

Motored to Gaspard Bay in the Maskelynes yesterday. Hoping to see some Dugongs, but no luck yet. Locals brought out some fruit and veggies in their canoe. Very windy with gusts up to 25kn. Overcast and chilly. If the wind eases a bit we will sail to Ambrym tomorrow.

Anchored at Ahei Island in the Maskelynes. A bit breezy,but not near so much as outside the anchorage and no swell at all. All is well aboard.

Anchored at Akhamb Island. It is a tiny island at the southern end of Malekula with white sand beaches, clear water, and several very friendly villages. Unfortunately, as nice a day as we had yesterday, this morning is overcast, rainy, with strong southeast wind. We may move around to the Maskelyne Islands this afternoon if the wind allows.

Planning to sail around to the Maskelynes this morning

Plan changed yesterday. No stop at Port Havannah, but sailed overnight and arrived in Lumen Bay, Epi this morning. All is well aboard.

Planning to sail around to Havannah Harbor today and then to Epi tomorrow.

Safely anchored at the quarantine area in Port Vila. Slower day yesterday with the wind on the stern. Arrived here at around midnight. All is well on board.

81nm to Efate and a bit farther to Port Vila Harbor. Still lumpy seas but making good speed. Hope to be in Port Vila tonight.

237nm to Efate. Still lumpy seas but making good speed. Might reach Port Vila tomorrow night.

Left Vuda Pt. about 1600 yesterday. Now about 110 nm west. Abit roll with the quartering sea but all is well aboard.

At anchor at Musket Cove. All is well on board.

-

At anchor outside of Musket Cove. Sailed over from Vuda yesterday afternoon in surprising 20-25 kn after 0 kn in the marina. All is well on board.

At anchor outside of Vuda Point waiting for clearance later this morning. Light rain and warm. All is well on board.

Easy sailing all the way through Navula Passage and now flat water and no wind in the lagoon. We will anchor outside of Vuda Point Marina and clear customs in the morning. All is well aboard.

Another beautiful morning after beautiful night. We have been sailing since yesterday morning with 3 reefs and a patch of jib to slow down and arrive on Sunday afternoon late. This will allow us to clear in at Vuda Point on Monday morning. It also allows for easier sailing with the cross seas. All is well aboard.

Beautiful morning after beautiful night. Looks like a Sunday arrival in Fiji which is a little problematic with customs there. Requires going to Lautoka not Vuda and paying pretty heavy overtime fees. Maybe hole up somewhere until Monday? Not sure yet.

hard radio conditions today.

Getting warmer these mornings. We are motor sailing with light wind and small seas. 422nm to Fiji. All is well on board.

Great signal from Frank this morning. All well, waiting for the wind to clock.

not enjoying the seas but have plenty of sea sick meds!

Chilly overcast morning. We are motor sailing with light wind. 807nm to Fiji. All is well on board.

Chilly partly sunny morning. We are motor sailing with wind near the stern to get as far north as possible before the front expected toward wednesday. All is well on board.

Just arrived in BOI from Whangarei with pleasant stop in Whangaruru Bay. Nice anchorage at Paradise Bay on Urupukpuka Island.

Back at Riverside Marina. Feels like home!

Arrived in Tutukaka from Opua yesterday afternoon after an easy sail. Nice quiet harbor. Leaving this morning south to Whangarei harbor. probably anchor in the nook.

Arrived in Opua yesterday morning about 0900. Did not run out of diesel but did sleep for 12 hrs straight last night!

108nm to Opua. I will slow down later and heave-to in the Bay of Islands so as to arrive tomorrow AM. Had an Albatross around the boat yesterday, very nice! The wind cooperated yesterday afternoon and was able to sail on course at around 6kn all afternoon. Although it is on the nose again this AM it is light and fuel should not be a problem today.

Clear blue sky, flat sea, and very little wind. Very chilly last night, but just remembered Gail left a hot water bottle! Maybe not so shivery tonight! I figure to have about 10 gallons of diesel on arrival at present course and speed. The gribs show very light wind all the way but North Cape radio is expecting 10-15 knots from the south (on the nose) tomorrow and that might change things! Planning to arrive in Opua day after tomorrow.

The weather is beautiful! Now if the wind would just cooperate! Still a big swell, up to 4 meters before from SW, but long enough period to not be a problem other than slowing Addie a bit. Addie likes light wind and smooth seas which we almost have. Sailing into a high with no wind at all likely for the next couple of days and almost enough diesel to make the remaining 317nm to Opua. So trying to squeeze as much distance from this wind as possible before it dies.

Motored all night again but on course with the light wind helping. Beautiful morning with long easy 2.5 meter swell from SW.

Motored all night but sailing again since sunrise. Getting chilly these nights but pleasant now. Bearing to Opua 153 T about 510nm to go.

Light wind from south and the bearing to NZ is SSE so slow going. Rainy and overcast with some rumbles of thunder. I expect to be in this system for a day and the winds will be SE behind it. I hope everyone enjoyed Thanksgiving dinner yesterday!

Left Noumea yesterday. Off to a good start. Some squalls with lightning last night but very nice this AM. Happy Thanksgiving!
