We are at it again! Matt and I will be underway for the next 2.5-3 weeks. I will pause our previously scheduled blog posts so that we can “live post” while underway.
Passage Plan
Our current plan is to depart the Republic of the Marshall Islands on the 8th or the 9th of April. We will be heading toward Tarawa, Kiribati which should be a 3 day sail. We will stay in Kiribati for a few days.
If weather permits, we will head out toward Funafuti, Tuvalu. This is a 5-6 day passage. We will stay here for a few days.
If the weather is right, we will then make the 4 day passage to Savusavu, Fiji.
The entire trip could be made in one trip over 11-13 days. However, we have never been to Kiribati or Tuvalu so we thought we would stop for a few days in each place.
Along the way we hope to share our experiences with a live post or two while at sea (which is why we are pausing the previously scheduled blogs).
Decision to stop or go
As most of you know, I get terribly sea sick on long passages. I take Stugeron and wear scopolene patches. But it is still a struggle for me.
Matt and I decided it would be best to break up this long passage into 3 smaller ones.
We may decide to keep going direct to Fiji. However, if we are tired or I’m not feeling well, we will stop in Kiribati and Tuvalu. We shall see.
We found a cool pinnacle to snorkel on at Eneko – come read about it.
