We are on a fast jibe parallel and 50 NM off the coast. We'll turn towards Opua when we draw even. ETA about Midnight. Next report should be from the Q dock. All is well. Rich Michelle Andy Ants

Winds have dropped further so we've been motor-sailing the last 18 hours. Running the port engine makes hot showers possible. Yippee! 220 to go. All is well. Rich Michelle Andy Ants

Moving along well. Crew is settled into routine. The blue desert is beautiful but still quite lumpy. Trying to slow down a bit for a better ride. All is well. Rich,Michelle,Andy,Ants

Had a lovely sail down the Mamanuca chain Monday. Making a quick stop here and Denarau then over to say goodbye to our friends at Vuda. 19-Nov looks like our best departure date at this point.

We motored up from musket Cove to Waya today. These islands look like the Marquesas. Lush rugged and beautiful.
