Captain's Notes:
With a crew of 15, it has been an intense work-a-thon getting the Alvei ready for sea. With a fresh coat of paint, fuel tanks topped up, food stores loaded and 4 new sails bent on we are almost ready.

On the crew are: Sabine, Sophia, Lisa, Phil and Kai from Germany. Then there is Leigh and Dan from N.Z. , Jamie and Henrik from Britain, Shaun from South Africa, Marie from Canada, Torgny from Sweden, Dick from Holland and Debora from Switzerland.

Another day or so for last minute jobs then we will set sail for warmer climes. The 7-day weather forecast shows favourable wind for the first week. We are anticipating a mid-June arrival in Suva.

Along with GVIs projects on shore there will be a focus on traditional sailors duties on the ship. We will be sailing between Island destinations and standing anchor watch, there will be galley duty, shore boats to run, painting, caulking and rigging work.
