Episode 56 - Sailing from the Solomon Islands to Australia - Leaving the Solomons

We leave the Solomon Islands after 8 wonderful months. Our trip of nearly 1000 miles takes us across the Solomon and Coral Seas back to Australia. Crossing the South Pacific Convergence Zone we have to endure, rain, thunderstorms and squalls. The SPCZ is the southern hemispheres most persistent and expansive rain band displaying unpredictable weather.

Bit of a rough trip mate. You performed very well. Give yourself a pat on the back and the wife a hug and a big thank your as well. After all where would we be without our other half?

Ocean crossings not always fun, hugs and pats all round, thanks for watching.
