Monday 21st October, 2019


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.
