Farewell Kwajalein
Our last look at the Kwajalein Small boat harbor. Kwajalein has been my home for almost two years, I only traveled off the Atoll by airplane once on a business trip. I am looking forward to returning to Los Angeles but somewhat concerned about a late season passage in the northern Pacific ocean. I had felt that the leg from Kwajalein to Midway would be the easier portion of the passage compared to the Midway to Los Angeles passage. The weather did not cooperate....
Kwajalein, a bit of green in a sea of blue, this trip will be a sequence of passages between very small islands. Prior to the wonders of electronic navigation one would consider the difficulty in even finding the islands something to think about. With the new WAAS GPS I recently installed the boats position is known to within a few feet and so long as the electronics keep working!
Sailing down the reef to Bigej pass, it is a beautiful day, next stop Likiep
