Off Across the Ocean

Mahili heading off to Vanuatu! Bon voyage!
As we head back into Vuda Point Marina this morning to look into having some 'boat projects' attended to before we put everything away at the end of the month we passed close by good friends Mike and Jennifer Gough who were just leaving for Vanuatu!
Don't they look good with all sails flying in a gentle 15 knots of breeze. In our radio goodbyes Mike lamented that they did not have 25 knots or more. (gotta love them Aussie's)!

Mike and Jennifer waving goodbye to Fiji!
Mike and Jennifer have been a bad influence on us during our time in Fiji as our paths have crossed in a variety of places around the country. Like many other more experienced sailors that have coached us to continue our adventure and explore the wonderful sailing in Indonesia, Malaysia, and beyond. "Pirates" -- "na Doug no worries about Pirates" (gotta love them Aussie's)

Good luck and bon voyage! Hope to see you down the track (or on Vancouver Island).

Thanks!
