Feeling Swell

10 meter swells pound the eastern shores of Vava’u and provide another spectacle and adventure for the Del Viento crew.

The weather was a big part of our crossing from Chile to the Falklands.  The biggest.  We bought ourselves a little luck by leaving when we did and taking the chance to move fast when we could and found ourselves just south of a little low pressure system. All day on the second day of the crossing we could watch the edge of the low (above).  On the south side we had gentle southeasterlies, and then when the low had passed us by we finished with southwesterlies.  Perfect.

Arriving in Stanley

The weather holds for the crossing to the Falklands providing some excellent sailing, and bird spotting.

A New Ocean

The Litzow’s take on a new adventure and a new ocean with their latest voyage.

This little speck of a each is on the end of a small island that
I snorkel circumnavigated. I saw some things I've ever seen
and unfortunately didn't have the wet camera with me. We've got months
here though and I think we'll spend a lot more time exactly here.

It’s Who You Know

Del Viento gets prepped to ride out the hurricane season on a mooring in the Vava’u group of islands.

Big Guys in Skirts

The robertsons experience the generosity and local customs of the American Samoan people.
