[status] Well this is a first in a long time, I'm actually purposely sailing slow to be somewhere. A sailboat going slow - that's an oxymoron for you. Like my power boater Anthony always say - Sailing is the only mode of transportation invented by man that if you left in the morning by evening you can still see the place you left from. Even with the time change I gotta wait for the officials to get to work so I can call them on the radio and get permission to enter the harbor and then go thru the check-in procedure.
One of the best 8 day passage I've made. Only got a little rain, winds never over 25, mostly under 10. When I had to use the engine it was at low rpms. Hope the passage back to New Cal and Vanuatu is this easy.
