[status]  Day 3.  We have had some of the most amazing sunsets and
sunrises.  Last night, almost the entire sky turned bright orange.  So
far, our conditions have been great; sunny skies, partial moon lit
nights, no squalls, and a nice sea state.  No complaints here!  And, so
far, we have made good progress at 161 nm/day.  We usually plan on 150
nm/day, and hope for 160+.  The passage from Port Vila, Vanuatu to Noro,
New Georgia, Solomons is 985 nm total.  We have 300 down and 685 to go. 
At this rate, we should arrive Noro by mid day Monday  +/- 6 hours
(Sunday in US).  More Later - G&T
