Ok ok I know I was susposed to update the position i'll do it in a couple of days yesterdays position was 25:06.746S 170:12.129E
 
    Well todays sailing was as effortless as it was fast we have less than 300nms to go now and we have been trucking along with realitively no hassless the yacht has hardly been moving around and we have been carrying out more drying and generally putting everything that feel off the walls back on them, there are a few more to go for tomorrow, we don't want to peak to soon!
 
    We put 80 ltrs of fuel in the tank and had to put a little fresh water in the water tanks.
tomorrow we will put another 40 ltrs of fuel in the diesel tanks and we have another 20 ltrs of water to go in the tank as well that should see us through to Efate just fine.
 
    At present my computors worst prodiction has us arriving @ 0730 Tuesday morning and the best is us arriving at 2325 monday evening.
All of which is no good because there won't be any officials around to clear us in until the morning. But
i think we have a couple of beers on board we can drink.
 
    I'm still revising for my diving course and I am about 2/5ths of the way through it at the moment and will hope to get it done by tomorrow evening. Claire keeps asking me questions while i'm doing things just to make sure I know it, which actually is very useful  
I'll send another report tomorrow or on arrival if they are not too far apart
 
Cheers
