Afloat after 33 days...

Hi Everyone! The cruising continues! (photo) Just after getting the signal to start our engine, and we headed out. We're in awe that it actually happened. Long day,long story but a quick move once the green light was given.

We are now anchored on the west side of Tahuata a little over 2 miles from Hiva Oa. Headed out to weather ( into the wind) then turned into the channel west.

We're in a sandy beach anchorage with 7 other boats. Lots to explore. Time for swimsuits! (600 population per Charlie's Chart)

Just settling in the night. We'll do watches as we are at anchor but no signs of slippage. FYI only connect to us is via blog & the XGate email. Iridium texting also works. Also, limited power....

Paul just said, "come on tomorrow ...". so looking forward to the possibilities. Love, Leslie & Paul.

  4. Dad got his FD card and was curious as to why it's post mark was Santa Ana.
    What is your next stop and when do you get there? Did you find the barbecue bottom? Glad you are getting ready to move on. I assume the boat is performing well.
    Dad, John and I say Hi.
