[status] Didn't quite get underway yesterday. Was blowing 25 knots and didn't feel like doing the run in that wind. So managed to hitch a lift into town with Des who is a volunteer with RIG, the shipbuilding project they are doing here. Cool project actually. Building a replica tall ship the same as the one built by the americans in 1802. Great to see a bit of the island by car and get Jaiya some more of her beloved avocados. Heading off shortly around to Western River which looks like a nice anchorage. Thinking that our jump off to cross the bite will be Sunday morning at this stage, the day after Kai's birthday,; although we are prepared to be on passage for that if needs be.
