I could not find the hose I needed for the bilge pump at the hardware store, so I am returning to Vila Marine, where I hope to also find marine-grade wire and turnbuckles. Well \u2026 I didn\u2019t have any luck after visiting two marine stores and three hardware stores in finding the tubing. They wanted $170 each for the turnbuckles at the marine store, so I didn\u2019t even ask about the SS wire.  I can back to the boat and made the existing tubing work. I also used some cord to lash and secure the frame. I will figure out something more permanent later. I spent the rest of the day working on paperwork for Australia (ANOA and Biosecurity). I heard back from the Australian authorities about my plan \u2026 Thursday to Ashmore to Christmas \u2026 and it looks like it will be okay. I also got my visa (Electronic Travel Authorization) and I head back from Biosafety with exactly what to expect upon arrival. Thursday Island reached out as well will a long e-mail that details resources and process. I purchased an e-book that details a route through the Great Barrier Reef, with anchorages. Finally, I had the hull cleaned (to keep Australia happy).<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Current Position: 17 44.318\u2019S 168 18.643\u2019E; Local Timezone: UTC+21; SOG: 0 kt COG: N\/A; TWS: 5 kt; TWD: 92; Distance to Waypoint (Vanuatu, Efata, Port Vila): At Anchor; Total Miles Sailed: 6941 nm; Engine Hours: 164 Estimate Fuel: 60+15+50 Comments: Today I am going to finish relocating the bilge pump in the starboard lazarette, I &hellip; <\/p>\n<p class=\"link-more\"><a href=\"https:\/\/aegir-ran.com\/index.php\/2025\/07\/02\/check-in-july-2-2025-606-utc\/\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> &#8220;Check-in July 2, 2025; 6:06 UTC&#8221;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[19],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1951","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-captainslog"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_likes_enabled":false,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/aegir-ran.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1951","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/aegir-ran.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/aegir-ran.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aegir-ran.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aegir-ran.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1951"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/aegir-ran.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1951\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/aegir-ran.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1951"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aegir-ran.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1951"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aegir-ran.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1951"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
