We are planning on heading out of here Monday or Tuesday, and the weather looks glorious! 10 to 20 knots right on our bum! Sounds like a spinnaker run to me!
The current plan is to skip Fiji and head directly for the southern most island of Vanuatu. The people speak a mixture of French and English, with there own village language mixed liberally in.
So there are three boats in the "Mosquito Fleet" as we are affectionallatly referred to. I first thought it was an insult until we looked it up! The other two boats are a Swedish family with two young children, and a couple on a catamaran. We are the first wave of relief boats going in for Sea Mercy, then in mid May another larger fleet comes from Australia, and on July and August are the last of them. Our job is to do the most good, and lay the ground work for the next fleet. Letting them know what to expect, and what to bring. We are all chomping at the bit to get out of here!
Courage
