The most difficult part of this trip appears to be the wait. Mother Nature is not cooperating and with a new TD we will simply....wait a bit more. Not wishing to be spanked on our trip to NZ.

Like us, still waiting....... We are going to leave Port Vila tomorrow and head for Aneityum where we will wait for a good weather forecast. Do you have sailmail? Maybe we can try keep in touch while on passage?

Good luck with those last minute things! We'll follow your progress as you sail south and look forward to catching up in NZ. We're still in Vanuatu and will be for a couple more weeks. Will check in at Opua.

Greetings from Vanuatu, dear Wendy and Dave, so........ getting ready to head south hey..... We will head back to NZ towards the end of month. It would be lovely to catch up somewhere, or are you flying home?

Awesome. We are not heading back to the US. We hope to spend some time in NZ playing tourist and then time doing some boat projects.  One, the deck! We have the material just need to complete the patterns now.  Look forward to seeing you guys again. -Cheers
