Signed up for the All Points rally.
Emailed Bob McDavitt for a personalised route forecast (about £35, I believe)
Since the last blog entry we've been, gone and been again (back to
Neiafua, that is).
Had a great 'Pot Luck' in anchorage no:16 a couple of nights ago, Arctic,
Vagabond and Calypso in attendance. Snorkelled the Coral garden, which was
as good as the first time, but no inquisitive reef shark this time.
Back out to the anchorages tomorrow for a week then back in for final
provisioning, weather check and boat check. Hope to leave here about the
1st and arrive in NZ by the 12th/14th provided we don't stop at Minerva
Reef en route. My inclination is that if we have a good forecast to keep
going. Quite a few boats have left today as there is a good forecast, but
I'm sticking with 'the plan'.
Well, that's about it. I'll try and remember to put some photos on the
blog, really I will. :)
