[s]Got engine running a bit last night after starter motor failed yesterday, winds dropped to nothing so luckily Anthony got the engine to start again. More rattles on engine this morning so now we're creeping along at 3 km/h. YIT, we're listening to radio, don't have a SSB receiver so can't join in the conversation![END]

[s]Left Big Mamas, Tongatapu 0845 Sunday. Heading to Neiafu, Vava'u. All going well until about 6pm tonight when we decided to motor for a while to cover a bit of distance and there was a loud rattle and then the engine refused to start. Anthony thinks it's an issue with the starter motor and managed to fix it enough to start in an emergency.He'll look at it again in daylight, but at this stage it looks like we'll have to come into Neiafu under sail. Position at 2100[END]

[s]All well on board.
Wind really quite light all way to Fiji now...
Not enough diesel to motor all the way, so rather than drift around will
motor to Minerva N and wait a few days before carrying on.[END]
