Heading to the Sun

Hello All,
My position is 07 14.04S 158 00.19E We finally got out of the country and are heading north. The wind is very light and is blowing NNE which is not in our favor but it is 5 knots or less so we have the main up and I am running the iron sail for now. This time of year the trade winds go away and are replaced by westerlies or are very calm. The equator could be anyone's guess and I hope there is a nice north east trade wind blowing once we get into the North. Everyone is doing well on board and we caught a 15 lb mackerel today woo hoo! so we will have a good dinner.

Yesterday morning we left Liapari and headed to Gizo to do some last minute things and then headed for Sunbis Resort. There was an acustic 3 piece band playing there. Noel and Rosie from Liapari were there with their power boat to see the band and visit with everyone. There were also a few cruising couples there so we stayed a few hours and had Pizza before we left at 1800 last night. It felt like a send off party so it was a great way to say good bye.
I will keep in touch. That is all for now.

PEACE

This was delayed coming to me. Rick did this blog on Saturday the 14th.
