Annie brought back pictures of her brother Clay, and her friend Julie Bolton, who looks 39 in the picture, and pictures and tales of the Albert Lea girls of the Class of 1960 Reunion. But most importantly, she brought pictures of Dalton and Bella. What a treat for an old lecher, I mean old fart!
We have been enjoying cruising the western islands of Fiji with Lee Carr. Lee has small boat sailing experience and he is an engineer, so he is fascinated by he technical end of things. He generally has a staff member do things like email for him, so that was one of the things he marveled at initially, until Ann made bread!
Today we traveled north to Blue Lagoon, where Brooke Shields swam almost naked in the movie of the same name. En route, we caught a small fish, perhaps in the mackerel family. I left it in the aft cockpit while we negotiated the reefs. Going aft later to get this fish, I exited the rear hatch without opening it and cracked my head a good one on the latch. I began to harbor some resentment toward the beast. I bled far more than the fish and Ann and Lee doctored and bandaged me up. Then, I tried to suggest to Lee that the fish was too small to eat, or that there was a significant risk of ciguatera (poison) from eating reef fish, but he hopped in the dinghy and asked the charter boat captain next door whether this fish was good to eat. I hoped that the skipper would feel sorry for three of us having to eat such a small fish and that he might donate one of the seven tuna he caught the day before. No such luck. Then, I filleted the little buggar and along with a chicken supplement we will feast. Of course, Lee captured the fish and my bandaged head in the same picture which he promises that he will not show to my colleagues at work. And, Brooke Shields has not been sighted here for the last 20 years.
But the water is still warm.

Subj: Lee Carr and Annie's Arrival; We're Cruising Now!
Date: 8/7/2002 2:38:40 PM US Mountain Standard Time

Lee Carr, a friend from my days playing with Suzuki Samurais and other machines that occasionally roll over arrived for a visit to High Drama a few days before Ann came back. I showed Lee the hardships of living afloat at a luxury resort (Musket Cove) with a group of gregarious yachties and the drudgery of snorkeling and daily happy hours. We managed to ward off scurvy and dehydration. Lee fit in effortlessly!
On Friday, August 2, 2002 High Drama changed venue to the Sheraton hotel which is somewhat closer to the airport than Musket Cove. Lee and I went ashore for a reconnaissance trip. We scouted the restaurant and snuck into the swimming pool. At 0'dark thirty Saturday morning we landed the dinghy at the Sheraton beach and stealthily crawled along the line of palm trees to our waiting cab. True to the schedule, Annie arrived back at 5:20 am in good spirits after several weeks in civilization. Then we went cruising to the outer islands.
After a glorious day sail we anchored in Yalobi Bay on the south end of Waya in the Yasawa group. Satori, a boat we met in the Galapagos arrived. Doug, a former accountant, and Valerie, a former weather personality for CNN came over for happy hour. Ashore we heard the locals putting on a meke which is an song and dance rendition of old legends. The next morning we were also treated to roosters and barking dogs.
We sailed south to Navadra in the Mamanucas. This complex of 3 small uninhabited islands is reputed to be sacred ground. They are stereotypic South Pacific islands: palm trees, white sand beaches, and gentle surf and off lying reefs. If you fail to make sevusevu at the altar, bad spirits reportedly haunt you for the rest of your natural days. Lee and Ann discovered some local lobster fisher men who asked for fresh water. Of course, we gave them 5 gallons, but so far they have not determined that the favor warranted a few lobster in return.
Today we swim. Many of the systems on the boat are working flawlessly.
Life is good in the islands. Stay tuned for more adventures of High Drama.

Subj: Cruising At Last
Date: 7/14/2002 1:49:44 AM US Mountain Standard Time

Greetings again from Fiji!
We are anchor down in Vunaniu Bay on the South side of Viti Levu en route for Musket Cove on the West side. Finally, after 6 weeks, we have seen the sun for a whole day! I acknowledge that people who are supposedly living the life of Riley in paradise are not supposed to have crappy weather, or if they do, don't complain, but we have had wind and rain since three weeks before we left NZ and today it finally broke. So, we are back at sea, sailing along the coast, fishing, and soaking up sun like deck lizards.
Most of the gear on the boat works and we will get the rest up to snuff soon. Much of Fiji is reef strewn and we are generally sailing outside of the reefs. The harbor that we are in tonight is 2 miles inside the reef, however. That means that the swells, waves from high winds back in New Zealand, can't get in here and keep us awake. In the morning we will go back outside the reef for about 50 miles then we will go inside a huge reef system thru another pass. Inside there we will sail to several islands and to Musket Cove Resort. The place caters to foreign yachts and hosts a sailing regatta (a week of races) in September. High Drama may not race but she will look good parked out in front of the resort!
We have had a reunion with Fred & Renee on Aldebaran. Fred is a dentist from Milwaukee and they are a wonderfully positive couple. Fred is a gregarious fellow, a bartender in college, and he befriended the entire Royal Suva Yacht Club membership and staff in about three days.
I have been working at retrieving the emails I thought that I thought I lost in Winlink. I now am only about 10 behind, which is comforting. We may get them all.
We hope that all is well with you.

Oh yes, we love the tropics. It is hot, rainy sometimes, and we have been seeing old friends (Fred & Renee on Aldebaran) and re-grouping after a tiring passage. We will start around to the west side of Viti Levu day after tomorrow if the weather is decent. The areas of the Mamanucas and Yasawas are supposed to have the best cruising and island hopping in the islands that comprise Fiji. Great snorkeling and diving.
The people in Suva, the capital and largest port are a wonderful mix of Melanesian local "Fijians", Europeans, Indians, and Chinese. The Indians were brought as indentured laborers for about a 60 year period at the rate of 2,000 per year. They were mostly low caste "untouchables" for whom Fiji promised a better life. They never returned to India even when presented with a choice. The Chinese came as merchants. The variety of restaurants now is extraordinary!
The wildlife is lush and reefs surround most of the islands. Fiji is better off economically than most of the island nations we have visited.

Subj: High Drama Anchor down in Suva, Fiji
Date: 7/3/2002 5:49:10 PM US Mountain Standard Time

Greetings! We dropped our anchor in the quarantine area in Suva, Fiji about 9 days after we left Whangarei. There were no personal injuries, limited property damage from high winds, and no divorces. The check in process in Fiji allowed one to meet just about every government official here, but they were very courteous. We are exhausted and will drop into bed for 12-14 hours, unless the wind pipes up here in the anchorage off the Royal Suva Yacht Club, as it is predicted to do!
It still beats sitting on the 405 in traffic.
Love to you all.

Subj: High Drama en route to Fiji
Date: 6/28/2002 4:49:36 PM US Mountain Standard Time

As the tide swept out of the Whangarei River, on Monday June 24 High Drama left New Zealand bound for Fiji. We were treated to gentle rain, favorable winds, and a full moon. Friends Alvah & Diana and Peter & Gina handled our lines and Alvah blew the conk shell as we left, waking anyone who was not already up.
The weather appeared as forecast for several days, but the wind speeds, of course, climbed much higher than forecast. On Thursday night, with the knot meter registering sustained 30 knot winds gusts to 40 we decided stop sailing, be conservative, and to "heave to". This maneuver was used by sailing ships in days past and is a storm tactic used yet today for sailing yachts Although the winds were not forecast to be higher than 30 knots, we thought that "parking" was a good strategy for a tired and short handed crew.
The boat handled the two hours of sustained 50 knot+ winds and big breaking seas that followed. Every 20 minutes or so one of the 25-30 foot rolling waves broke near the boat and cascaded green water all over. It sounded like getting hit by a VW. It was as if Neptune was trying to dynamite our dinghy, life raft, and dodger from the boat. The screaming sound of the wind is a little unnerving at night. Our mainsail whipped so badly in this wind that we had to go out on deck and further secure it to avoid having the wind rip it up. I must say Annie is quite a trooper in foul weather.
We have usually had crew on passages this long and today we sorely miss Mike & Stacy and Pudge. We are dog tired even though "Gene", our auto pilot does most of the steering.
At a distance of 522 miles from Fiji the temperature is finally up to 73 degrees. The wind is decent, 20 knots out of the West, and we may make it in the next four or five days, depending on where we make landfall. Anyway, we are wiser sailors now and hope that our dollop of heavy weather education is completed for this trip.
We urge each you to continue to use caution on the highways.

Subj: Greetings from High Drama
Date: 5/27/2002 11:30:00 PM US Mountain Standard Time

Well, High Drama has not yet taken to sea, but we are ready. I thought I
would resume emailing an update every couple of weeks and seek forgiveness
for a mass mailing. Thanks to those of you who see sufficient literary value
in these missives to pass them on.

Winter has arrived in New Zealand. The South Island is full of snow and
there have been gales blowing here in Auckland on the Hauraki Gulf for the
last week. Not just little gales, but 40 to 50 knot(mile per hour)winds and
hard driving rain. The temperature is in the 50s. Not good for we creatures
of desert and tropical blood.

After her re-fit High Drama is all spruced up waiting impatiently to go
sailing. Today new cushions were delivered. The deep blue upholstery
complements the interior teak. High Drama looks pretty spiffy. We have only
to check the refrigeration (we'd hate to get to Fiji and not have cold beer)
and commission the new radar and we will be down to minor tasks. But, we
don't choose to sail in 40-50 knot winds.

Our new friends, Jim and Carla from Portland on Jubilaeum left Gulf Harbour
5 days ago. Over the past year and a half Jubilaeum under went a major
re-fit. They had a good sail north to Opua, cleared customs, and departed
for Australia. Then two things happened: they developed engine problems and
the weather turned ugly. Their diesel fuel apparently developed problems
with condensation during the re-fit and both the engine and generator took a
holiday. The weather turned rougher and they sailed back to Gulf Harbour.
Despite their problems and previous investment in the Kiwi economy, New
Zealand customs extended a rather cool welcome. Jubilaeum has been given
until Saturday to make repairs and sail on.

Last Saturday we drove around the Viaduct where all of the America's Cup
syndicates have headquarters. See http://www.americascup.co.nz/ Most are
under security that rivals a US airport, so visiting one is out of the
question. But, there is one exception. Team Alinghi, the Swiss entrant to
the Cup. Not only did they hire the Team New Zealand skipper and tactician,
but they also set up an interactive series of demonstrations to promote
public interest in the race. For example, they built the bow of a America's
Cup boat indoors and members of the public can experience what it is like
having the bow move all around from wave action while trying to hoist a
sail. They have a section of a boat to demonstrate the angle of heel, which
is about 30 degrees in a good breeze. The winches from the boat allow you to
test your skill, or really your power, in a simulation against a Team
Alinghi "grinder." Grinders are the members of the team who crank in the
sail. I achieved a whopping score of 73% of what the real guy did trimming
the spinnaker. Of course, I was tuckered out after grinding the sail once.
These guys do it many, many times each race. Finally, at the helm of virtual
America's Cup boats Ann and I raced against each other. I claim that I won
because she crashed into my boat, but undaunted, she raced on...in the wrong
direction!

The big local news: The All Blacks rugby season will start soon, the Long
Blacks basketball ("netball" as the locals say) will soon end. Bill Clinton
visited Auckland to give a speech at a BMW event, and the Green Party
threatened to break up a coalition in Parliament over the possibility that
the ban on genetically engineered products will be lifted next year. Sports
and political rows continue to be quite fascinating.

We will update you before we leave for Fiji. Drop us a note. Cheers, mates!

Just when yours truly reports on a positive aspect of Maori-Pakeha
relations New Zealand things prove me wrong. (Again. Actually, I liked a
book by Roberta Menchu in Guatemala that was found to have been fabricated
in large part. I liked The "Things They Carried" by Tim O'Brien who is
charged with plagiarism, and the same with Doris Kerns Goodwin of PBS fame,
"No Ordinary Times". I guess I'm just gullible.)
Brother Tom, the Maori TV Board hired this guy with a Masters Degree from
Denver State University! Yeah, nobody else heard of it either, except those
folks who buy MBAs on the internet. Oh yes, he was a member of the BC
Security Commission. And he wrote two books. And he was a member of the
Middle East Round Table for International Relations. No evidence of any of
those things.
But that's not all of it. The Board had hired recruitment agency Millennium
People to find its chief executive. Howard & Nancy, they don't let lawyers
do personal injury law here, so this kind of stuff really gets the juices
flowing! They may claim against the recruiters!

I'm going to miss this place and the news each day.

Subj: Merry Christmas from High Drama
Date: 12/25/2001 2:41:29 PM US Mountain Standard Time

Heartiest Merry Christmas from Aotearoa--The Land of the Long White Cloud.

As we enjoy the comfort of our current location in a marina just north of
Auckland, New Zealand, we reflect on the past year. What a journey of
learning and discovery for us!

During the past year, with the help of able crew, we safely piloted High
Drama 8,000 ocean miles. Mike and Stacy Morrison joined High Drama in Panama and departed in the Tuamotus; Pudge Ingebritson came aboard in Bora Bora in French Polynesia and left in Tonga. Bob Trahan sailed with us from Tonga to New Zealand. We are indebted to them for their skill and patience! We
discovered that ocean passages were more serious undertakings than coastal
charters, in large part because standing 4-hour watches during a 24-hour
period cannonballs sleep habits. Our passages were much easier because of
the luxury of having capable sailors and congenial friends on board.

We followed a traditional route established in the 1800s for trade. Known by
modern sailors as the "Coconut Milk Run" we sailed downwind stopping at
tropical islands with white sand beaches lined with coconut trees. Writers
like Melville, Michener, and Stephenson did not understate the beauty of the
islands and the friendliness of the people. Despite being torn between
traditional ways and "modern" influences, local people gladly shared their
time and hearts. One of many memorable encounters occurred when a Tongan
named Vaha proudly conducted a tour of Hunga, his village, and his several
acre "plantation" where he raised bananas, taro, breadfruit, and "kava," a
plant that contains a mild tongue numbing drug. Vaha beamed when we
reciprocated and had him aboard High Drama for some "palangi kava". (Palangi
is the Tongan name for "white foreigner".) We served Vaha some Starbucks
coffee we had been hoarding. Warm smiles and fond memories were traded.

The creatures of the sea shared some of their space with us as well. We dove
with hammerhead sharks and sea lions in the Galapagos, with huge manta rays
in Bora Bora, and we swam with a mother Humpback whale and her calf in
Tonga. We sailed past giant sea turtles that were oblivious to our presence
because of their lovemaking. Countless dolphins danced in our bow waves.
Birds such as boobies, magnificent frigate birds, and gannets flew
well-choreographed aerobatic demonstrations. On many starry nights shooting
stars interrupted the stillness of skies. We had squalls but no lasting
storms. Ah, the sweet mystery of it all.

While we lived our dream our sons raced on the treadmill. After a stint with
a dot.com company Jason did some freelance computer consulting in Los
Angeles. He recently moved to Phoenix where he will continue doing computer
network and graphics work. Jesse landed a job programming online computer
games for a Sony company that runs Everquest. He now lives in San Diego.
Both sons seem content single.

Easily the biggest joys of journeying have been encounters with people in
different cultures and connecting with fellow cruisers. Sailing couples from
a dozen countries shared the same general route and timing across the
Pacific. Each anchorage brought new friends and a reunion with a boat we met
earlier up the route. Sailing is a great leveler. No one cared what a great
lawyer I was when our anchor dragged in a blow. Friendships grounded in
common experience produce a strong sense of community.

We wish you a merry Christmas and Happy New Year. May the spirit of the
season be with you all year.

As always, we enjoy hearing from you. Please let us know what is happening
in your life. Write to us at or
Stop by our website at http://www.sailhighdrama.com It will be updated in

Subj: High Drama in Opua Marina, New Zealand
Date: 11/14/2001 2:49:09 AM Pacific Standard Time

The last day of motor sailing to New Zealand proved to be fun. Blue Yonder, a Valiant 40 motor sailed ahead of us. They had a 12 hour head start leaving Minerva Reef and it took us 5 days to catch them! I thought Dave, a retired radiologist was the racer but it turned out that his wife Gail increased her speed when she saw our light at night. From the first sighting it took us 20 hours to pass them. That's life at 7 knots, a speed that seems good to us because we can roll off 168 sea miles in one day. But, to put that in perspective, many joggers routinely jog at that pace.

We ducked into the Opua Marina just at 6:30, five and a half days after leaving Minerva Reef. Toward the end the wind shifted to the northwest. It never reached the 35-40 knots that had been forecast, but rather stayed at a gentlemanly 20 knots. The gale that was forecast for Wednesday is now blowing outside. High Drama's mooring lines creak as she strains them with the wind gusts. Better an equinoctial gale here now than the tropical storms (cyclones as they call hurricanes here) that will blow from this time until May up north in the tropics.

Opua is a Port of Entry in New Zealand. Nestled in the Bay of Islands in the North island of New Zealand, Opua blossoms when Kiwi sailors from Auckland head north for Christmas and a summer break. Now the area shines with spring flowers including a wide array of many colored roses. We wear long pants and fleece jackets or at least a wind breaker. New Zealand occupies about the same latitude south as California occupies north, and shares some common climate zones.

Larger towns nearby include Paihia, Russell and Kerikeri. We toured Paihia today, long enough to buy a newspaper, some wine, and a few veggies. The US dollar is very strong against the Kiwi dollar, so this area is inexpensive compared to Tonga and French Polynesia, for example. The cruisers are the first wave of tourists to land in these towns. As with all tourist areas, the local people are extremely friendly and helpful to new arrivals. The fellow who runs the small liquor store was a case in point. He provided the history of New Zealand breaking into the ranks of world class wine producers. Sauvignon Blanc was one of the first Kiwi wines to receive awards in international wine tasting competition, he explained. He was so enthusiastic about the local fruit of the vine that we walked out with several bottles of his favorites. My sales resistance appears to have rusted at sea.

Accoutrements of civilization tickle us. We were so delighted to find a telephone system that was both efficient and cheap ($0.16 per minute to the US) we talked to Lois' answering machine for a full 15 minutes.

We have not decided how long we will stay in this area, but several cruisers who planned to ride out the tropical storm season closer to Auckland have decided to stay here. We will probably press on in a week or so.

Our best to all of you. Thanks to those of you who reported the ball scores! We very much enjoy hearing from you, but if you reply, and we hope that you do, please don't send this message back to us!

Subj: Another day at sea
Date: 11/11/2001 8:05:47 PM Pacific Standard Time

Last night the sea and skies demonstrated their seductive serene moods. When I assumed watch at 9:00 PM despite the absence of the moon, the stars were so bright that they looked unreal. I had been playing around with a sextant all day and got a couple of shots and identified the stars. But, the activity proved beyond any question that the skill of celestial navigation has now escaped from the recesses of my gray matter. Nevertheless, the sea was so still that that the bright stars made light paths on the water right up to the boat. Three times I saw lights on the horizon that I thought were boats. Each time it turned out to be a star. High Drama rolled gently along under power. After soaking up the sheer beauty of it all, I treated myself to an Eric Clapton concert. Then I listened to a CD with some of the best short stories of the 20th Century. I had previously read one story, The Things They Carried by Tim O'Brien, from Worthington, Minnesota.

Later we headed into a dark mass across the southern sky. The stars became barely visible through the haze and it became very dark. At the end of my watch I sighted another light on the horizon. Now, almost 20 hours later we are still on a parallel course with Carelbie, a 51 foot Oyster from Great Britain. We just met these folks by radio and look forward to sharing a pint with them in Opua.

Radio traffic is rife with the concern among cruisers that low we are trying to beat to NZ is moving faster. If it beats us, that means 35-40 knot head winds. We increased our throttle setting, but we are being set by a 1 knot current. Should be fun end play.

At sunrise Ann pulled in a very nice tuna, our first tuna in quite awhile. I made a marinade and smoked it on a stovetop smoker. Delicious!

Air Force Orion, a Kiwi Air Force AWAC plane just hailed us. They asked our position, last port, check in port in New Zealand, number and nationality of those on board. We couldn't see them but heard them first when they hailed another boat. After we gave them our information they made a low pass about 300 feet above the water off our port. This sure isn't Tonga anymore, Toto.

We have a strange noise coming from the engine compartment. Fortunately, it has a very high frequency, so I can't hear it and therefore don't have to worry about it. Also, the weather threat is serious enough that many boats are stopping to let the front pass. We are close enough that we think we can get into the harbor Tuesday night before the front passes on Wednesday. Obviously, if we have a breakdown, we may get caught in some nasty weather. For the present, this beats fighting traffic on Central Avenue.

Today is a good day
Date: 11/9/2001 4:43:02 PM Pacific Standard Time

Last night we punched through a small trough with some rain, but at least there was wind. I hand steered most of my watch as the wind climbed from 14 to 24. Because we wanted to make some speed, we left all of our sails up. (I would not have ordinarily done this, but Bob from Misty Dawn, who is with us, is a guy who gets bored easily and is not happy unless he is actively sailing the boat. He loves sail changes and we have had up every sail combination we own on this trip sometime!) It was a fun sail in drizzle and good steady winds, even if they were a little high for our sail plan for awhile.
This morning we are in a high. Clear skies gentle breeze from the southeast. Fast easy gentle sailing. I thought you should know what you are missing. We are west of our rhumb line, which is OK. The updated forecast says that we will have light winds in this high until Monday when the wind will shift north. Then northwest on Tuesday. Since we will be just north of NZ by Monday, it will blow us right in to Opua on Tuesday night or Wednesday am. Then the wind is forecast to shift to the west and then southwest, and get blustery, on Wednesday, after we are moored. If today's forecast holds, we will have had a great window with nothing on the nose and no gales.
We now have enough fuel to motor the remainder if necessary.
Water tanks are full and hot showers are the order of the day.
We are busy eating stuff that we know the Kiwis won't let us bring into their country: steak, chicken, brats, veggies, eggs, honey, and popcorn. Who knows, maybe a fish will even hit our lure.
Three people sailing 4 hour watches means more sleep at night. I feel rested for a change.
Today is not really bad. Wish you were here.

Subj: High Drama Anchor Down at Minerva Reef
Date: 11/3/2001 4:51:55 PM Pacific Standard Time

Greetings!
We are sailing from Tonga to New Zealand via Minerva Reef. We traveled the 423 miles from Vava'u to Minerva in just 3 days at an average speed of 5.9 knots which isn't bad for High Drama. We had beautiful sailing conditions with 10-15 knot winds mostly off the port quarter. We hope these delightful sailing conditions will continue on the next leg of the trip, which is known for springtime gales.

North Minerva Reef lies about 760 miles from our next stop, Opua, New Zealand. This reef is circular enclosing an area about three miles in diameter. The coral structure lies one meter below high tide; there is nothing above the water level. No vegetation, no coral, no rocks, nothing except breaking waves tell you where the reef is located. We are told that there are thousands of friendly and a few unfriendly sharks who call Minerva Reef home. The challenge lies in identifying the unfriendlies. As we entered the reef this morning we found 9 other boats anchored within the protective barrier formed by the reef. This reef is just like a big parking lot for boats headed to New Zealand. We previously met most of the boats somewhere up the line before.

Since our sailing direction from Minerva to Opua is southwest, and since south-southwest winds are forecast, we will probably be here for a few days. Bob from Misty Dawn who is traveling with us will free dive for lobster and he may spear some fish. We will try swimming but the water is definitely getting cooler (78 degrees) now that we officially left the tropics by crossing south of the Tropic of Capricorn.

Let us hear from you, even if it is only to tell us who won the World Series!
