Cyclone Vaianu is creeping closer and closer and we’re really seeing an increase in wind and rain now. We’re seeing 35-40 knots consistently with reports nearby of gusts up to 60 knots. Our ladder has been blown away but otherwise we are safely strapped down and the boat isn’t going anywhere. The leaking windows are not so fun but thankfully that’s a job on our to do list anyway so we’ll get to those soon! Now we’re in the final countdown to the strongest winds and by the morning we should get a little respite as the eye passes over us. Stay safe out there, everyone. #cyclonevaianu #tropicalcyclone #newzealand #newzealandstorm #cyclonewatch

Another short tease onboard Moments in Time during our second shake down sail, no new problems discovered. Nice day, nice lunch, nice company.

The yard finally got the keel off the boat, and boy is it gross. But good news: the bolts look awesome. Shiny as the day they were put in... after being cleaned.

In December I crossed the Atlantic from the Canary Islands to Barbados on a friends Lagoon 380. For the first 2000 miles or so we had calms or very light winds and so fellow crew member Erick could fly his drone. After a while you don't notice the swells when on board, it's just a gentle rocking motion. Even when the wind picked up there were none of the "mountainous seas" beloved by the media!
