Safety first. I`m smiling again and will be sailing soon.

I was all ready to go for a multiple night training at sea and was faced with a dilemma Only ten days left on the offshore training permit so I felt pressure but given the absence of a working autohelm and that I am not allowed to use the AIS Transponder, I felt a niggle. Now a new plan is unfolding. Can`t share it quite yet but I am learning that life on the sea is not always predictable. Thanks for watching this video update.

If you want to know my current position please go to my website www.pacificsolo.com and click on the Where`s Wahine Button. The next full episode produced by Lago films will be later in April. In the meantime, I will continue to do these video updates.
