nms 23/08/2012
 
   We now have only 118 nms to go.....will be there by Friday morning at this rate.
 
    We have passed firstly Anatom and Tanna islands and the next one is Erromango Island which will be later on this afternoon, what does all this mean, well it means we are close to land and have passed the southern most apart of Vanuatu. The general outside temp has been rising over the last couple of days, but todays temp is significantly warmer than any other days.
 
    We have enough diesel to charge the batteries to run the electronics till Port Vila and probably enough to put us on anchor by the Quarantine buoy, so all is well, we are, at the present pace looking at being there around about 0900, maybe sooner wind dependant, but at this stage that is the game plan.
 
    Oh just out of interest and I’m guessing its of more interest to us than the rest of you but, the temporary repair to the heads worked well and should be fine all the way in.......phew! Hot smile
 
    On that not very interesting note I’m going to have a not so cold as the first! bucket shower off the back of the yacht.
 
I hope your offices are as nice as ours at the moment....lol
