Almost on Our Way Home

We have been a bit delayed in our passage to Panama, waiting on our insurance company to renew our policy to cover ocean passages, as well as one thing and another.  The weather has also been rather unsettled lately with 30, gusting 40knot winds at times.

We are now all prepared to leave Friday morning our time (Saturday night NZ time).  The trip should take about 7 days.  Here is a wee chart of where we are and where we are heading.

The weather is looking good for heading off Friday morning, a steady 20 knots and more consistent.

We will endeavor to get a position update on the blog each day, but if you don't get it, don't be alarmed.  We will probably be a bit busy throwing up over the side, clinging on for dear life, or whoohooing from the helm.

Our starting position is:  18*25.43North - 64*37.06West (*=degrees)

Wish us luck!
