Preparations for departure to Kiribatis’ Tarawa are going on well. Today I filled already 40 l of spare diesel into the tank. A bit later we want to go ashore and get another 80 l. Ideally 60 l can go into the tank and 20 l can remain in a jerry can, which can be stored in the bow center storage.<\/p>\n
Beside this I sent emails to Kiribatis, Marshall Islands, and Micronesia to inform them that I sent all required documents but as I did not get any reply I’ll assume that no permission will be sent and I just sail into the harbors for inbound clearance. Once I’m closer to the respective harbors I’ll update them on a more precise ETA.<\/p>\n
Now let’s see how they react. My experience with Kiribatis’ Northern Line Islands is that no permission will be sent. Sometimes I feel I need to take such a step in order not to wait for months until a reply comes once the hundredth reminder has been sent.<\/p>\n
The wind forecast looks terrible!!!. Checking daily the forecast it could be possible to lift the hook in Monday. However, forecast until Monday is still reading the crystal ball.<\/p>\n
I’ll write an update in the next days.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
