BAHATI E-Log update from Auckland! Dec 14, 2007
Dear Family, Friends, and Virtual Crew Members! Happy Holly Days from Kiwi-land “Downunder”!
BAHATI is finally in New Zealand! Pictures coming soon! We had a looooooooooooong and somewhat fraught passage from Tonga but we finally made it to Opua on the north cape of the North Island after 14 days at sea covering 1500+ miles in what should’ve been a 1200 mile passage…needless to say, we are very happy to be here!
We are settling-in at Bayswater Marina, slip …

Hello Friends of Bahati!

Ahoy Bahati Comrades!
It has been a while since our last “Ship’s Log” update (exactly one month ago), and for once we have a very good excuse… we have been at sea. And guess what? We are STILL at sea! We are writing you this brief update, via shortwave (or SSB) radio, from 11�53 south, 140�16 west (plug that into “Google Maps” for a neat surprise!).
Since you received our last brief update, from the island of Isabela in the Galapagos, we have had quite an …

Greetings Bahatian Comrades!
We appoligize for the lack of photos and fancy design elements in this update, but we are greatly limited by slow internet connections in the remote islands of the Galapagos. We promise to share the incredible collection of photos we’ve gathered at the next available high-speed internet connection (sorry, it is going to be a while).
WHERE IS BAHATI?
We are currently anchored on the island of Isabela in the outer Western islands of the Galapagos archeligo, preparing for our longest passage ever, from here to the Marquesas islands in …
