We made it to Ailuk. We found the passage hard going despite good sailing weather. Navire has suffered from ten months on a mooring. Despite through testing of all systems before we left we have wiring problems with the auto pilot power source failing, the depth sounder suddenly giving up (same problem we hope) and the fridge making deathly sounds. David had to use an old fashioned leadline to find our depth for anchoring.
I'd lost my sea legs an struggled to sleep between watches. But slept well last night.
This is the most remote place we have been, we are the only boat here. Today we go in to the tiny village of 180 people.
