Gizmo the Shellback Boat Cat

 We crossed equator this morning, Gizmo is no longer a pollywog.

Sailing toward Marshall Islands

 Departed Fiji waters Tuesday our time. Headed for Marshall Islands. Light winds so a bit slow going.

1500 nautical miles for this trip.

Update, fairly comfortable except for a few squalls to keep us alert.

Starlink working great.

Good in New Zealand or Australia.

 Back in Fiji. Finally got out of cold wet New Zealand. Very happy to be back in the tropics and nice warm weather.. Back to the cruising life!

Boat did great, no issues, new 14kw lifepo4 batteries and 2kw solar panels doing stellar job, better than expected. Starlink not working in Fiji, rats, but have good cheap cell service.

Checked in at Vuda, caught up with some friends and will head to Musket Cove for the Regatta this week.

Gizmo the boat cat has adapted very well, first couple of days of passage she was not too well(like us) but sprung back up third day and got her sea legs very quickly. 

Holding in Whangarei, New Zealand until the world gets back to almost normal.
Will more than likely stay here until May or June 2022.
Plenty of Boat projects to keep Chuck busy.
Lauri has plenty of  Social and art groups to keep her Busy.
