Saturday 22 December
Just a quick update, as we wait for customs and immigration to come out to the boat, to let know we dropped anchor just off the Betio Wharf, Tarawa atoll at 9.20 am this morning after a perfect moonlit sail �- beam reach all night.
We couldn�'t hold IM back, even completely reefed down she was making 4 kts, like the proverbial horse headed for home! As a result we had to tack for an hour or so up and down outside the channel before first light enabled us to safely enter the unlit harbour.
Unbelievably another Australian yacht entered harbour just after us, and now we are both bobbing at anchor waiting to hear when Customs etc will arrive. There is a pleasant 10k breeze and we are enjoying the rest �- hope your Saturday is going well.
It could be Monday before we get ashore, so may not have internet connection sorted until after Xmas, but wishing you all a wonderful Xmas day. The local AVI representative came to the Tarawa port office to speak to us over the VHF radio, and asking us to contact her as soon as customs formalities were finalized. It will be very exciting to start the next stage of this excellent adventure, even as we sadly realize the 5,500 kilometres of ocean crossings are behind us for a little while. It's been a fabulous experience. More details in coming blogs, as we will use this space to update you on our year in Kiribati, and also outline more sail adventures as we hope to get around to some of the outer islands in the coming months. Seasons greetings to you all, Love from the tired but very happy Skip and Crew IM
