Blue Plains Drifter en route to Australia
Hi All!
Jim, Steve and John were able to leave Fiji on the 7th as they planned. Jim said the first two nights were pretty rolly. They averaged 20+ knots of wind and had some steep seas. They were making good time though and the boat is doing well. Jim is not a man of many words when it comes to passage updates.
At Base Camp Hawaii, I’ve had Taco Bell more times than I am willing to admit. I tried for another favorite, the Coke Slurpee, but the machine was down when we visited. Not to worry though, I am a persistent one. I’ll be back there again. Mom and I have also been busy visiting the volcano here on the Big Island, shopping and showing Ann a good Hawaiian vacation. I’ve been relishing the luxuries of a large kitchen, using all the fresh water I want to rinse my hands and dishes as I cook. I also love the super fresh and varied vegetables!
More passage updates in the days ahead.

The things we take for granted! Glad to hear you got your fix of Taco Bell. Hope Jim, Steve and John have a safe and uneventful passage.
