Sailing to Nimoa

Left the next morning around 8am and back through the Ubonabona pass and into the washing machine. Lost our weed sprayer bottle over the side and it took three attempts to retrieve, but we weren't going to lose that, it's been brilliant as a water sprayer/shower/water saving device. Allusive were about a mile ahead and radioed to see if we were OK (think they thought we were turning back). They were out of the worst of it and conditions were much improved, so we pressed on. It was an uncomfortable passage for much of the way to Nimoa but we finally made it in about 4-5 hours. Went to shore to the elementary school in the late afternoon for a sing-sing by the children. That night we had dinner on a boat called Eclipse, a 53' British built aluminium centre cockpit vessel. Cupboards and drawers and nooks and crannies everywhere, and a 'shed'! Graeme loves that kind of boat. The owner, Robbie, and his crew are all American so it made for an interesting evening.
