[weather] SE 20-28knots 2-3 m swell clear sky.
[status] with just 400nm we were on the home run when the bearing in our steering wheel failed - we are continuing to Raivavae at this stage under emergency steering (tiller) while we try to locate a part. All is well and everything under control - still sailing at 7-8 knots so with a push we may get into Raivavae late Wednesday afternoon .dont think we will put the fishing lines out today!

Stress free Safety Category 1 - Yeah right!

List after list after list. Then lists of lists. Rationalising lists. Striking items off lists then adding three items for every one struck off. Tetchy with the system, with partners, with workload, with weather. Just under 100 pages with 5-10 tasks to be completed on each page of the Safety Regulations of Sailing 2017-2020 as prepared by Yachting New Zealand. Other sailors saying to us: Oooohhhh, Cat 1, we know what that's like! The first time is the worst. Well, this is the first time! Are you feeling stressed yet?

We are relaxing in Saweni after a 10 day passage from Majuro to Rotuma,
with consistent breeze and flat seas all the way. 5 days in Rotuma, and
another 300nm to Fiji on the wind. Couple of days in the Yasawas then on
to Denerau to complete Customs clearance and clean ourselves up ???

All well and looking forward to more Fijian adventures this winter.
