Sorry for not having provided more updates....when my fans start nagging I know it's time....crew arrived along with 4-5 days of cold and rainy weather...but we have made the most of it....rented a car, put in masses of provisions, propane, diesel jerry cans, water, gas for outboard, along with a multitude of chores on board...bending on the sails, a shelf for the lazarette where the autopilot now occupies the bottom half....stowing, stowing, stowing....wanted to do sea trials today but woke to rain and wind so hopefully tomorrow...have tested the new Pactor modem (loaner thanx SilverGirl) three times now and connected flawlessly so big relief on the communications front...the lists are growing shorter....looking at the weather window with help from our wx router on Orcas Island...large low pressure system coming out of PNG....take a pass on that one but would be very convenient to ride the back of it going North....new chart and changed the waypoints through the Great Barrier Reef...a little local knowledge about bommies in one of the passes so staying with the shipping lane through Palm Passage....Toketie is close to ready and we are not far behind.....
