Aloha everyone, we have had a delightful sail today. Even flew the asym chute for about three hours. The winds have been 10-15 and the seas flat. Hatch open kid of sailing. We continue to be plagued by some problems. The autopilot problem seems to be a low voltage problem, either stemming from our alternator problem or from dying batteries. We are about 80nm from Papeete, Karin is bringing down a new alternator, and hopefully, we can get things figured out. Appreciative of having Randy with me for our fixit problems. We should be tied up and rinsed off by early afternoon. Will have lots to do before Karin and Linda arrive. Although i expected to some sailing around the island, looks more likely we will do some touring and spend some time fixing and cleaning. My brother and his wife will be with us about two more weeks, Randy one more week. At this point, my blogs will be irregular. I will try to update regularly, but no more night watches for awhile. Aloha, David
