They made it! John called me on the satellite phone Thursday morning as they were entering the bay at Atuona on Hiva Oa. It was almost 20 days exactly - they left Friday, Mar. 16 at 11am and arrived on Thursday, April 5 around 11am US mountain time. I'm going to have to play a bit with time zones, but they are approximately 3 1/2 hrs behind.
John sounded good, but tired. Hopefully they all got a good long solid sleep last night. I'll be joining Music on April 15 when John Denny and Bob Peters head back to the States and Canada.

They won't get much sleep in Atuona. It's one of the worst anchorages in the South Pacific!
