Photos of WWII Japanese airplane on Maloelap Atoll, Marshall Islands.
This atoll was a fortified Japanese base in WWII.
We believe all of the airplanes in photos where destroyed while on the ground.

Wotje Atoll, Marshall Islands

New Video

Enjoying Fiji, have explored the west islands up to the top of Yasawa.
The weather on this side of the country is nice, sunny days, cool nights, very little rain.
 Met some new friends and will be prepping to head north to the Marshall Islands.

Back in the Saddle

After an eight month sabbatical from cruising in cold wet New Zealand, it is now we are just about to land in Fiji on "new" Free Spirit..
Renewed our cruising vows and will be cruising and upgrading/improving boat to our standards for reliable, comfortable cruising the South Pacific and beyond!
I will try to update blog as much as possible and look forward to creating some new videos.

NEW VIDEOS

We've been traveling through the South Pacific, haven't updated blog in a long time, but here are a couple of videos form Vanuatu.

We've really enjoyed New Zealand. Getting ready to head up to Vanuatu in a few weeks. We have our wonderful, blue water proven "Free Spirit" up for sale! Please check out all of her new equipment on the separate page of our blog! Free Spirit details

You can also find her on Yachtworld

On Our Way to New Zealand

We departed Fiji on Sunday(Saturday in the states) and are steaming toward Opua, New Zealand.
It has been mostly motoring(expected) and will be for the first couple of days. Then we will time our arrival into NZ between weather systems that are so common down there.

We departed with our buddy boat "Learnativity
" with Wayne and Christine aboard and have been in sight of each other so far.
We are about 20 degeers 31 minutes South, 175 degrees 43 minutes East.

Cheers
Chuck & Lauri
