11/14/2008: "Wind glorious wind"

Our last sunrise at sea on three year tour of Melanesia - Louisiades, Solomons, Vanuatua, Fiji, Futuna, Fiji, Vanuatua, New Caledonia. In the east the sun awakens the sky, the early morning watch - in this case Estelle - slowly starts to nod at the helm. The flag is flying as Chaotic Harmony closes on the Australian Coast. Sixty nautical miles to go and we will be in Cairns. We are doing ten knots and will be there by lunchtime. The excitement is palpable aboard.
