We have spent the last week at Hawaii Yacht Club working on system checks and provisioning the boat for the three week long upcoming passage to French Polynesia.
\nWe are now back in Pokai Bay waiting for a good weather window South – that\u2019s sailor speak for \u2018checking Predict Wind twice a day and making sure there is enough wind from the right direction to sail through the doldrums to Rangiroa and Tahiti\u2019. It looks like the usual trade wind pattern is finally settling in and we are hopeful for an opening soon.
\nToday was spent picking up our last pieces of mail, buying more ham and cheese, cleaning the bottom of the boat (Petter 1 – Algae 0), and making sure our Iridium GO! Satellite works as expected. I am posting this blog entry through the satellite connection, so if you can see this post it means it worked. More updates on our ETA for departure soon!<\/p>\n
