All well on board. Jogging outside entrance to Pohnpei. Will enter and clear customs in the morning.

All well on board. Won't be able to get in today in time to do customs so we are slowing down and will go in first thing tomorrow morning.

All well on board. 255 miles to Pohnpei.

All well on board. Crossed the equator today at sunset - our 4th crossing in four years. Maybe Pacific Hwy should be Pacific Meander! clear skies, calm seas, steady breeze.

All well on board. Our weather improved significantly last night after sunset. No more squalls and we were able to set a course of 355M. Had a lovely, relaxing day close hauled, full sails, flat seas, and moderate breeze 8-12 NE. Tonight stars are out and no squalls in sight. ETA for Pohnpei is Thursday.

All well on board. Frustrating day sailing slowly away from our rhumb line. Before sunset we dropped the main and motored directly into wind on our course line. At 7 pm we rolled out the jib. Very slowly making course of 350M, 13 kts wind from NNE. Stars overhead with clouds on horizon.

All well on board. Had 1 kt adverse current up until about 3 hours ago (2100). So our average boat speed with light winds has been about 4.7.

All well on board. Caught a Mahi before exiting Manning Straits (after about 4 strikes that resulted in nothing getting hooked). Looks like a slow (but comfortable) trip. It has been HOT and water temp up to 90 F. Water should cool down once we leave the 'hot pool'.

Leaving Noro, Solomon Islands this afternoon for Pohnpei. About 900 miles north. ETA 7-9 days depending on wind.

Arrived in Noro, New Georgia, SI on Wednesday morning. 801 miles in 120 hours (from Luganville). Clearance very easy. Everyone very friendly. No crocs sighted! Waiting for clear weather to continue into Marovo Lagoon. Welcome to the convergence zone!

Approaching New Georgia and will sail along the north side to check in at Noro. Sorry my previous reports were formatted incorrectly so you didn't see them -my bad.

Leaving Luganville, Vanuatu Friday morning for Noro, New Georgia, Solomon Islands (750 nm).

Left Port Vila around 16:00 Tuesday bound for Amai Island, Maskelynes.  Expected 18 knots from 80 degrees so left with double reefed main.  Mostly had 10 kts from 120. Should arrive around 8 am

We had 20+ KTS most of the way to Lifou.  Winds lightened to about 10 knts from S, then around 1:00 am picked back up to 14.  Really comfortable.

Left Noumea this morning and headed for Port Vila

Anchored at Isle of Pines (no sign of Orphus - they may still be in Noumea)

Anchored near Prony (Ouen). Leaving for Ile de Pins this morning.

15 miles from Boulari Passe. Waiting for sun to come up to enter the lagoon.

140 miles to Noumea. Gribs are showing that we should have 10 kts for SE the entire way but our wind has changed from 7-9 kts at 110 degrees to light and variable. Hoping to see 10 knots from SE that gribs promised :)

250 miles from Noumea. We will slow down to make landfall Tuesday morning so we enter the lagoon in daylight.

On rhumb line to Noumea. Started sailing about 11 hours ago with about 8 knts wind. Wind has increased to a pretty steady 13 with up to 15 knts under clouds. Close hauled and waiting for wind to veer to SE.

Motor sailing for the past 24 hours. Waiting for wind to go to SE.

good signal

Currently in Coffs Harbour, AUS. Planning to check out on Monday and leave Tuesday morning for Noumea, New Caledonia.
