We are still motors sailing and surfing down the waves. We tried sailing with the headsail for a while, until the turnbuckle on the bottom of the sail parted. It had vibrated loose. We got the sail furled away without too much trouble and went back to the Staysail.
A few minutes later Tony shouted out “the flag.” the top corner of the NZ flag had come away from the flagpole. Lifejackets on I quickly retrieved it. Tony retied the flag to the pole and we put it back out.
We are constantly on the look out for sea life. Suddenly Iris called out Dolphins. We all rushed to port and everyone went silent as a large white pointer shark (great white) cruised alongside Imagine and then disappeared into a wave.
We have made it! Vanuatu greeted us with a heavy squal as we entered the harbour. After anchoring and covering the sails it was time for a well deserved drink. We sat on the cockpit celibrating and reminiscing about the trip.
