Last night was a case of more tacking and not getting very far. We were being hammered by 2 to 2.5m waves and the wind rocked from 25 to 30 knots. This morning the waves reached 3.5m.
Everyone is tired. We got little sleep and for the girls it was a new experience and both discovered they do get sea sick. Tony and I took double shifts, our own and sat with Emma and Iris on their shifts.
This morning as is got light we saw the outboard motor was gone off the back of Imagine. One of the many waves that hit us during the night must have tore it off its mount. Its the first time I mounted it on the outside. That was because the safety gear (droug) was mounted on the inside. I wonder how much outboards are in Vanuatu.

Hope the girls are OK now?
There is some options in Vanuatu, let me know if you need help with it.
Unfortunately we cannot see your position and on Marine traffic, the last update is 8 hours ago.
Maybe let us know your position so we have an idea on your progress.
Cheers B.
OMG Andrew that sounds like a tough night. 😳
Greg is looking at some options in Vanuatu.
Stay strong my Capi
