Sailing
A fresh bottom and a Fiji shakedown that turned up no gearbox and no cooling, then the long way round to New Zealand: a quiet motor to Port Vila and a squally beat to Tanna, side by side with La Vagabonde.
Sailing
Two thousand miles without an autopilot ends at Vuda, followed by a new rig, a week without steering, a few days of doing nothing on purpose, twenty bull sharks, and a ladder that had other plans.
Exploration
Five hundred miles downwind from Tonga with no autopilot and a mainsail that would not come out to play, then a boatyard in Fiji where the dreams outnumber the boats that will ever float again.
