And we are off... passage to Vanuatu

After a wonderful Chicken curry dinner and final brief, all was a go. We have since set sail. Well, I take that back. We have turned on the motors and scooted out of Malolo island. We are a fleet of 21 boats plus a few of our friends from Holland who are on a fast track to Asia. We already caught a beautiful 3 foot Wahoo and just thrilled. It's calm and the winds are finally filling in enough to keep the sails from flogging. The kids are great and we just learned why Seanna LOVES passages. She says it's because she get to sleep in mom and dad's bed :). Since we rotate watches and only one of us sleep at a time we always let her sleep with us. Merric, on the other hand, sleeps up top in the salon with us and occasionally wakes up and checks the radar and looks for ships. It's a unique time to spend with your kid.

Already missing our special friends on Endangered Species (Rick and Robin). Had a blast with you guys!!! It was great to be able to wake good bye at the cut. See you next season or in New Zealand.

Will keep you posted on our progress
