Tomorrow morning (2030 UTC July 11) we will leave Momi Bay on the big island of Viti Levu, Fiji for Port Resolution on the island of Tanna, Vanuatu.\u00a0 The course is a 460 nautical mile straight shot from here on a course of 246 degrees magnetic.\u00a0 The forecast is for winds 22-26 knots from the east becoming ESE with seas of 3 to 3.5 meters, easing.\u00a0 These robust winds should get us to Tanna Island fairly quickly. We may need to slow down in order not to arrive before dawn (local time) Monday in Tanna.\u00a0 If the wind is too strong on arrival or out of the north then we may deviate to Port Vila on the island of Efate since Port Resolution has limited protection.\u00a0 “Vera” will be traveling with us. Our current position is:<\/p>\n
South 17 degrees 54.9 minutes
\nEast 177 degrees 15.9 minutes<\/p>\n
