Day of departure getting close

We are just 3 days from departure and everything is looking good to go. I have recovered sufficiently from the surgery and the weather is looking perfect for a gentle start to the voyage. The forcast is for 10-15 kt east wind. That will give us a chance to get our sea legs before any rough stuff later. I am lucky to have found another volunteer to crew with me for the trip south. Ling has decided to make the sail and I feel fortunate to have her with me. We are planning to stop first at Rangiroa if we have made sufficient easting and have the time. We need to be in Papeete by June 30th. I expect 22 day sail to Rangiroa. If that works out we will have time for a short visit. Then it will be on to Tahiti, a short 2 day sail. So, we are ready!!
