After calm winds for the past several hours there is now a good sidewind blowing so ‘Gup’ and I are heading for the atolls at 6,5 knots… And it looks like it will be another very hot day. But I’m having a wonderful time here opening and eating down my stockpile of coconuts and reading – did I mention the banana regime slimming down too? hihi. Nice to be busy with that, the SSB is not working anymore.. But! Icom America came up with some super good news for me – they are sponsoring me with a brand new SSB radio! I am really super happy about this because it means that for the coming legs of my journey I won’t have to try and guess where my fellow sailor friends are.
