Delivery: approaching home

Just south-east of the Limas, about 30 miles to go, at 10:01 this morning.
Battling NNE breezes of up to 20knots, and chilly here: 13 C, no doubt way chillier on board....
They should be berthing mid afternoon-ish.  Have spoken to Roger and Simon at the Boatyard, to prepare in case they still don't have working engine by the time they get to the Royal Hong Kong Yacht Club, at Causeway Bay.
Have also sent message via Satphone and just now with local mobile phones, as they should be in range.... haven't heard from them yet.
LATER (11 Jan): got email from Grant yesterday afternoon:
Hi Peter
Thanks received your message
My phone receiving but not sending most likely needs top up
My plan is to have Benny from Moon Blue 2 bring their big rib out to marina entrance when we arrive (very slow no wind here could be a long time)
I will strap along side Xena and berth at the RHKYC jetty that way
Hopefully there is a berth by the fresh water hose as we need to do a big fresh water hose down get rid of all the salt on everything
Cheers Grant.
