Yee Ha. They are 3nm off the corner to enter Port resolution. They slowed the boat down to have daylight for the entry. Quite a few rally boats have left so there will be plenty of room. GPS is off so no exact position. They must be saving power. Hopefully Cheryl has advised Customs but if not they will sort that out on arrival. Might have to truck over to Lanakai. The sat picture looks like it might be a good clear night for the mountain but then again they might want to sleep.

PS position came in later. Great signal on that boat.

The important news is that their eta Tanna is midnight, Cheryl. They have had a fairly sporty weekend with gusts up to 37kt but crew and boat handled it well and Steve sounded quite pleased with all the excitement and the fact that all got handled well. Boat is in good shape. We discussed lanakai but that anchorage is rolly and uncomfortable so better to go to Port resolution. A good many of the raly boats have left to go north so that will leave plenty of space.

All well as got more sleep last night. Did a 175 mile day. Apologies from Patricia who made an error in the longitude yesterday. I was trying to work out how come they had done so many miles. Not a problem with the computer program. I put in 168 instead of 158! They have been advised to eat your food today Cheryl as tomorrow swell will be 3.5m so just as well the sea sick crew is now OK.
