Quick Passage Summary!

Hello everyone, sorry I don’t have time to upload the entire passage report / blog but just wanted to say that I am OK!!  After 28 days at sea I arrived safely in Madagascar at Nosy Be on Sept 8th.  It was a wet and windy passage and I arrived exhausted the first night just before dark at a small anchorage outside of the main port as I could not quite make it in before dark and did not come ashore until late afternoon Sept 9th.  Spent the first two days getting caught up on beer and food (like pizza and burgers) and just now was able to borrow a new friends Internet to send out this quick note mostly just to let everyone know I’m OK!  I’ll try to send a proper update with all my writing from the passage in the next few days but it is difficult to get online here.  So far I give Madagascar thumbs up, but expect much more writing to come.  Quick details of the passage, 28.5 days at sea, traveled and actual 3017 nautical miles, not too far from the rum line which was only 2935 miles, and averaged 4.3kts or 103 miles per day.  It blew an average of 25kts most of the time, almost all of out of the SE and would have been a lot faster trip if the 3-5 meter waves had ever let up.  That’s it for now but more to come soon, miss everyone and as always hope everyone is well!  -Kirk
