Nearing the destination Stiks south of New Caledonia Iridium’s in:
“Slip sliding along on the money course now, just waiting on the wind shift to the east. Tasks today includfe making lunch and dinner from dwindloing fresh goods. The rice and beans are joined by thye millet and quinoa and whatever goes along with them, which is just about anything we can come up with from the larder. Sunshine is on, wind is 17-20, speed 7-9kts. Hwozit on the dry? Stiks”
I don’t have the heart to tell him about the news flow…let the man enjoy life under sail…

The Doors – Land Ho!
Grandma loved a sailor
Who sailed the frozen sea
Grandpa was that whaler
And he took me on his knee
He said, “Son, I’m going crazy
From living on the land
Got to find my shipmates
And walk on foreign sands”
This old man was graceful
With silver in his smile
He smoked a briar pipe and
He walked four country miles
Singing songs of shady sisters
And old time liberty
Songs of love and songs of death
And songs to set men free
Oh! Eh!

good on him i suppose . living his dream and safe . stiks sounds like a survivor
George , is there a way that you could post a map or 2 showing Stik’s location and/or route that he has covered ?
Thanks

Not sure about desired anonymity in transit but … easy enough to guess from charts (let alone gribs).
Cursory review, New Caledonia is 400 miles ENE of Brisbane, AUS?
