Last night at sea and another goody, great sunrise. Carefully watching the fuel and once skipper is up I think we might put the engine on. Looks damp ahead.

Still chugging south, all is well on board. Seen lots of fish life but as yet have not been tempted to put a line over. Once skipper is up I am hoping the motor can go off. Lots of other boats out

We were rolled out of Namena, but had a great sail to Makongai with sunshine and blue skies. Had a great tour of the area yesterday chilling out today.

A window presented itself to try and explore Namena so we will have to head back to Koro to explore it properly. Had a great sail from Koro and explored the island yesterday, hopefully the water
