A flash back about beating to Anuta
As I was downloading my GPS waypoints, thought it'd be worthwhile showing why it's not worth it to go against the trades: 500nm to cover 240nm is not fun!!!
The yellow (straight) line is our return track, the green line is our track there! Anuta is at the extreme right end of both these tracks, further east than Vanuatu!! Lesson learned: go there after the trade season or reach from POrt Vila and back!
