The boat is ready. We have booked our customs clearance for 2pm tomorrow (Saturday). Weather is looking good but will be good to see the 48 hour model prediction tomorrow. We might see some 20-25 at the tail end of the trip but that will be fine as we will be close to PNG.

Spending the night in Malanda visiting friends and dropping off our vehicle. Last hot shower and large bed for a while, not to mention Lindt Chocolate and Thai chicken and noodle soup.

We have come to know quite a few of the people in Trinity harbor. One fellow, Mark, dropped over in his tender yesterday and gave us some fresh fish and pumpkin. Everybody seems to be a bit envious of our trip, especially yachties. Can't wait to get underway. We will be sailing into a full moon.
