Looks as though we've had the last "How can I miss you if you haven't gone away" Party. Tonight Anders and Christina brought over a great dinner and Aiden , Tjasa, and Nela came over for a last good by and gave us fuel for the trip--really good chocolate and wine!.
Yesterday was spent at the marine department securing documentation to leave Hong Kong waters. Today all of our passpors went through immigration. Berry did the finishing touches on the auto pilot which worked like a dream on the 3 hour run back to Hebe Haven. We stopped along the way to fuel up at Clearwater Bay, known for both crystal clear water, and hopefully similar diesel. 1000 gallons later, Shearwater was a bit lower in the water but had a regal motion over the swells as we motored back to Hebe Haven.
The weather looks about as perfect as it gets in these parts. We are just between the NE and SW monsoons and this week has light winds from both directions. Dave N has experienced less ideal conditions in his 6 previous runs and is very happy not to have to do battle with 4-5 meter seas.
We plan to leave at 5 a.m. tomorrow morning and will try to post simple messages during the passage. Underway at last!!!
