As we left all was calm and beautiful scenery. Isolated desert islands with sandy beaches all over.
 
Then the wind picked up and we had our roughest passage yet to Tanna in South Vanuatu.
 
Note our speed though, 11 knots at times surfing off the waves.
 
Big waves which occasionally created a head of surf that broke into the cockpit.
 
Into the Blue was great though, just shrugged it off. Max wind speed was about 45 knots i.e. severe gale.
