Arrived Coffs Harbour in a thunderstorm. Safely berthed and cleared in. Off to sleep now...

Land Ho! 30 miles from Coffs Harbour. Great run in decent winds overnight,with current to help us.

Glad of our radar last night as dodging thunderstorms. Hoping to make land fall late tomorrow afternoon. All well.

Starting to get some wind again. A Pygmy Beaked Whale came across our bow, breaching 5 or 6 times in a row, amazing sight! All well.

Still motor sailing down the rhumb line to Coffs harbour. All well.

will be in Tuesday to avoid the wed front

Motor sailing (well, mostly motoring) in a glassy sea. The flying fish are flying for ridiculous distances with no waves to crash into. Looking forward to the wind returning. All well.

great radio signal now! Propagation finally has improved for GH Radio

Two red footed boobies stayed on board overnight and we caught a skipjack tuna this morning - all well!

Lovely sail, all well.

eta Coffs Monday

All well, making good progress.

light signal but readable

Finally escaped Port Vila, good to be on our way, having a pleasant sail!

Went to check out on Friday but Customs was closed due to power cut. No one there yesterday or today so hoping to check out and sail direct to Coffs Harbour tomorrow.

Plan's changed: leaving Port Vila this weekend for New Caledonia and on to Australia, Coffs Harbour.

Arrived in Suva, Fiji 2pm yesterday! Had a bouncy last 24 hours, flew in under just staysail and reefed mizzen. Welcomed by Caminante with fresh bread, fruit, tomatoes and beer. Good to be safely at anchor.

inside the passage so seas down. Looking forward to catching up on sleep over the weekend! 40nm SW of Suva so arriving today

Plenty of wind, making good progress, quite a few squalls, flying fish joining us on deck now!Due in to Fiji tomorrow.

Good progress as 100m south of passage entrance

Wind picked up after a couple of squalls so engine went off with the day break. Sailing nicely, well reefed with the wind on our nose.

thanks to pacfic spray for relay

Motor sailed through the night. Penguins and dolphins saw us off, phosphorescence lighting up our wake through the night. All well.

Finally fixed and on our way, motoring in a millpond.
