Leaving to Hawaii

Unfortunately the time to raise anchor has come. With sadness we are leaving the magnificent Marquesas Islands. We have been welcomed by its generous people who shared their history, culture, their land and its bounty with us. We are loaded with fruit and have Mauliola ready for the crossing to our Hawaii nei. Russell arrived a few days ago to sail with us up north. He has never sailed to Hawaii and he is excited about the passage. We are excited also, thinking and imagining what the seas will be, and what we will see and meet. It will be a 2,000 mile crossing to the Island of Hawaii. I will try to post via SSB radio our position every few days. Happy Thanksgiving to you all. Infelizmente a hora de levantar ancora chegou. Estamos tristes de deixar as majesticas Ilhas Marquesas. Nos fomos bem recebidos pelos seus generosos habitantes, que compartilharam conosco a sua historia, cultura, a sua terra e o seus frutos. Estamos com o barco cheio de frutas e Mauliola esta pronta para a viagem. Russell chegou para velejar conosco ate o Hawaii. Ele nunca velejou esse trecho e esta ancioso pela saida. Nos tambem estamos anciosos, pensando e imaginando como sera o mar, o que vamos encontrar e ver. Sera uma passagem de 2,000 milhas. Vou tentar enviar a nossa posicao via SSB radio algumas vezes. Beijos para todos.
