The last passage for this year. We finally got some
wind and are on our way. We did 165 miles in the first 24 hrs; not
bad.
Unfortunately we have no wind instruments as the
wind vane on the top of the mast got damaged in some severe thunderstorms we had
while we were anchored off Oyster Island Resort. So we have to guess how strong
the wind is by looking at the ensign and the tell tales.
We have really enjoyed Vanuatu, would could have
stayed a lot longer; but the cyclone season has started so we do not want to
hang around any longer.
We hope to stop for 24 hrs at Chesterfield Reef and
then arrive in Bundaberg around the 17th.
