Ocean View Marina
Samal Island, Davao
Mindanao, Philippines
I know that I have been VERY negligent in updating the blog. It has been two months since any updates. Lots has gone on and it has been very busy here. Kathy returned from her trip back to the states a month ago and since then getting ready to leave the Philippines has been our number one priority. We are finally ready.
Today we checked out of the country with immigration and customs and will leave the marina Saturday the 27 th. Hopefully our new but untested auto pilot will cooperate and we will remember how to sail. It has been 18 long months here in the marina.
The passage from here to Palau is 550 nautical miles so depending on wind and weather four to five days. The south westerly monsoon has filled in so the wind is with us along with a favorable equatorial counter current that flows east varying from 1/2 to 2 knots. We just need to locate it to take full advantage.
I will hopefully blog our position and weather condition updates during the passage.
