From Vanuatu to Australia

We're sailing! Today we started our 10 day passage across the Coral Sea to Australia. So far we haven't done that much lately expect for preparing for the crossing. Finally today we left. By preparing we cooked up groceries for meals so we don't have to cook so much on the passage. We went to an internet place to help find out the weather for the next days. The weather in Vanuatu hasn't been to good. It has been raining a ton. But at least we were able to catch a lot of water for our tanks.
So far the first day of passage was pretty calm until we got out of the islands. Now it is a bit rolly. The average wind speed is 15 knots and we are going a good speed of 6 or 7 knots. None of have gotten sea sick and we are all feeling fine.
