Adventures on SV Avalon 2017 (Part 1)

Highlights of our 1,200-mile sail from New Zealand to Fiji in May, 2017, aboard the sailing vessel Avalon. We left Marsden Point Marina (NZ) under sunny skies. Over the next 8-9 days, we faced some big wind, rain, and seas. But we were also becalmed for a couple days, floating in a completely flat and glassy South Pacific Ocean. It was eerie and unforgettable. (We don't carry enough fuel to just motor any time we want.) We finally arrived at Vuda Marina, Fiji, wearing big smiles and ordering pina coladas for breakfast!
