It's a beautiful morning, with starry skies. We are motoring slowly as there is no wind and we are wanting to avoid any potential issues with logs in the water. We received an email from some

It's been an uneventful motor/sail the past 24 hours. The biggest items we have to watch out for are logs and the occasional FAD. Believe it or not we passed a FAD in 3,500m of water, and that

We are as close to the equator here in this anchorage as we have been since the Galapagos over three years ago. This is our last stop before we set sail in about an hour for Sorong. We've not been

We missed getting this report in before the net. We got slammed with a very large squall and a 180 degree wind shift. We filled up our water tanks as we got more rain than we have seen in months

We've been having some good sailing. With the exception of our 10 hour stop in Vanimo for clearance and Indonesian Visas, we've been sailing for six days. We've been averaging about 3.5kts for the
