Beautiful Day

Our position: 24 19.988S 171 29.849E We are about 300 miles from the Vanuatu Island Tanna and expect to clear in at Port Lenakel on Monday. Today was a beautiful, warm, sunny day and we are loving it. We tried to sail with the Spinnaker but there wasn’t enough wind for that so it has been a motor day. With the engine running we had access to hot water so we took advantage of that and enjoyed a shower in the cockpit, Denny even shaved for the occasion. Barbie saw a whale heading towards NZ. He seemed to be in a little bit of a hurry and only came up twice for air. We expect another motor day tomorrow but have plenty of fuel on board to motor all the way so we aren’t concerned and really enjoying this passage. More updates tomorrow. ————————————————- Do not push the “reply” button to respond to this message if that includes the text of this original message in your response.
