We’re sailing 1200 miles from Fiji to New Zealand. Strict Biosecurite regulations for our dog Yoda leaves us with only a 5 day departure window. Reputed to be one of the most unpredictable passages in the world, we set sail even though Fabio has pneumonia.

We should be sailing right now but instead we are in Great Inagua, the southernmost island in the Bahamas, attempting to fix the headboard on our main sail so we can continue our passage to Panama, where we need to arrive by June 1st, before the start of hurricane season, as mandated by our insurance.
