YIT | Yachts In Transit

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails.

[status] The passage from Vanuatu so far has been really good. I went to bed at 1am with about 10 knots of wind and slight seas. The start of the 4am shift was glassy seas and hardly a breathe of wind. It is a beautiful cloudless morning. The music is playing and Glen is cooking breakfast for us. We should be anchored around midnight tonight at Lifou.[END]

Stopped at Vanua Levu (not the big island)/Navadra, northern Mamanucas, for the night. Great day

Navire catches fish. A vicious delicious walu. The drought is broken. Wahoo for walu.

This was shortly after we hit the coral. Its been a big day.

Motoring slowly up to a sandy cay to swim and explore, I prepared to drop the anchor. Below the bow

Settled in to bay at the top of Naviti Island at Somosomo village. Did sevusevu today. Villagers very friendly. Fabulous children. Got pawpaw, bananas, and greens. Sheltered from easterly winds.[END]
