[status]S/V PEREGRINE is successfully in Vanuatu after 6 days at sea. We ran into 12 hours of 4 meter seas and 40 knot winds, and for the rest of the trip we had fair seas. We made the crossing in 6 days two days earlier than expected because the weather and seas were in our favor. Our satellite connection was out for a few days, of course when we needed it the most so this is why our update on YIT is so far behind the dates that we actually did come in. We arrived on Sunday at 3:00pm and customs checked us in right away because they were here for a cruise ship coming in on Monday. Now it is raining for a few days before we go to Tanna and see the live and active volcano.
