//WL2K HEADED TO POHNPEI

Wed. 20 August 2017
Palau

It has been so long since I have written an update I don't remember the format I used. Not to worry the important thing is I am trying to write once again. After almost a year on the lovely island of Palau tomorrow we are checking out and heading east 1500 nautical miles to Pohnpei. That will be our jumping off place for next years return to Sourthern California.

Lots has gone on since I last wrote. Trips to the Rock Islands, a new outboard, a new water maker, again new batteries as the ones bought in the Philippines just one year ago failed. The internet here lately has been bad so no photos but once in Pohnpei I will try to post some of Palau and our passage to Pohnpei.

Some may notice that this post is done through winlink rather than sailmail. We have had a very difficult time connecting with the sailmail station. I hope to post as we make our way along on this passage. We willalso be checking in with the Pacific Seafarers radio net daily, position reports are available there too.


That's it for now as there is still lots to do before leaving.
