Ready to Go!!

It's been a while since our last post but in that time we have returned home to the UK and back to La Paz. We had a great time at home but very tiring and cold!! Our return to LP was a long trip and we took a while to get over the travel but what was worse, we brought a bad cold back with us from the UK which has only just gone.

We have continued with various boat jobs and done an awful lot of shopping as we provision for the crossing. We have so many stores on board that we are well down on our water line. Of course, a lot of this is beer and wine so it should get consumed fairly quickly once we are in an anchorage again.

It's going to take us 3 to 4 weeks to reach Fatu Hiva the first island in the Marquesas and we don't expect too much internet access in the islands. It may be a while before another update!!

After that, we will work our way through Polynesia to Tonga and then on to New Zealand in early November. We are both looking forward to some great sailing along the way and to some beautiful anchoarges and good diving!
