8am, 5 July 2007, Victoria, Seychelles

Dear Friends and Family,

Raising the Q & Seychelles flags

Our arrival in Victoria, with a US missile cruiser on one side, big tuna-clippers on the other, and the yachts anchored in between.

Just a quick note to let you know that we arrived safely in the Seychelles this morning.  We crossed over the edge of the bank last night with no problems except a bit more sloppy sea.  Our course to the quarantine anchorage also presented no problems.  We expect the officials to come clear us in in an hour or so, then we'll move to a more convenient anchorage and go explore the sights (and maybe catch up on some missed sleep!)

Many thanks to all of you who wrote to us - it's nice to know there's other humanity out there when we can see no signs of it for so long.

Fair winds and calm seas -- Jon, Sue and Amanda Hacking
