Walkabout has gone Sailing

S9:53 W138:49

Through the pitch black of a moonless night, we are able to make out the outline of islands! We have 12 miles to run to get to our anchorage in Hiva Oa.

Nearly there!
We should arrive around sunrise, and then try and find somewhere to anchor - apparently it is rather busy in paradise.

Further update to follow later, one we are secure.
