Arrived Seychelles

 We arrived in Victoria , Seychelles at around 3am local time. Anchored in the Quarantine Anchorage and awoke this morning to this view. Position reports (below) are not updated -- the Nav PC died two nights ago. We are waiting for our health inspection latter this morning so we can get out of quarantine.

Technically we are now in Africa, even though the Seychelles is a 1,000 miles off the African mainland. Felt like a long, slow passage.

Enroute Seychelles Day 6

Easy, slow sail yesterday and last night. This afternoon we gave up and started motoring. 7kts of wind on the stern in rolly seas is not Georgia's forte.

Enroute Seychelles - Day 5

Not much to report tonight. Last night and day was an easy sail. Had a few light squalls. At one point last night I was laying in the cockpit and could see stars out the starboard side and the Southern Cross on the port, yet there was rain hitting the Bimini cover hard. Not sure where it came from.

The noon-to-noon run was a dismal 121nm. This was because we gybed to change direction from west to north (while keeping the wind on our stern). If I used the actual course distance it would have been 142nm, not great, but better. We have about 340nm to go, probably arriving Monday.
