N and NE winds took us nicely to the Solomon Islands, 38° 19’.825N 076° 27’.560W. It was a little cold when sailing, but the
auto helm is now working much better– perhaps as a result of lubricating the
steering cables and fixing the rudder – so we didn’t have to spend all the time
on the wheel. We arrived at Zahniser’s
Yaching Center around 2:30pm, picked up a mooring and ripped off all our cold
weather gear in a beautiful warm and windless cove.
This marina offers a grocery store shuttle, which we took
advantage of and also loaner bikes, which we took advantage of. The bike ride was very pretty – we visited
the tip of a small peninsular at Janes Point, Sandy Point – the tip of Soloman’s
Island and then took a ride north of town.
The 2 peninsulas were both very pretty.
Back on the boat, we cleaned up a little, then dined aboard
on meatloaf, potatoes, carrots, zucchini, with banana surprise à la Teresa for
desert.
