Rocking and Rolling across the Pacific! We stayed an extra day in Aitutaki to experience a great all day celebration of their winning dance and singing teams return to the island. We are paying the price for this delay in our departure. Light winds, 2 meter southerly swells and wind driven Southeast waves. Ughhh. Top it off the centerboard shims have left the boat and the darn board flops side to side with an annoying shutter. So far all of us maintain the opinion that it was worth staying the extra day. Our buddy boat, Skyus, is a mile away which brings an amazing amount of mental comfort to us. Luke is a physician which is even more comforting. We will be performing an at sea delivery this morning to Skyus of our parasailor for them to try. The delivery should be interesting. Motoring at 4kts on a course of 250. Only 245 miles to Bevridge Reef.[END]
A smooth sea never made a skilled sailor.
