Slow but Still a Work in Progress -

Last night we motored for a little bit to get to where a light wind was predicted for today.  We had a good day of school today, still calm seas, but we are moving at 2 knots and the spinnaker isn't collapsing on the deck, so we think we are moving!  We can see 2 Fiji islands on the horizon and a whale came up by the boat this morning.  All in all going quite well.  I gave all the boys a haircut yesterday before we swam, so we're all cleaned up and ready to meet people.  Currently we are not planning to stop in Fiji, but drift past it.  Our two other disaster relief vessels are leaving Fiji on the 17th, so we hope to be in their proximity at that time and do the final 425 miles as a fleet.

They are still hashing out a schedule. Initially we were going to 2-3 ports per day, which would have been very strenuous, constantly running.  Then they slowed it down to one port per island.  But I'm concerned that we can't assess the damage to the villages, the resources available, the general health of the people of the entire island based on a single port and encounter.  It now looks like we'll hit a few ports per island which will remain fluid and at the captain's discretion.  All a work in progress.
