                | Well, 42kts last night, we are tucked in close tot 
he island on a mooring that was put down by the boat in front of us. 
Unfortunately two others set by the same boat let go in the night! Much chat on 
the radio, one other boat dragged. But we stayed put safely. The guys further 
out into th ebay have had a rough night, the sea is quite high, and even more so 
further out, and the length of ones anchor chain gets shortened as they get 
caught round the big lumps of coral on the bottom, which means that there are 
lots of broken snubbers out there this morning. We have not heard from Simon this morning, wonder 
how well he slept, ashore in a palm hut in 40 kts! Ina and Amanda will be going 
ashore soon, and staying there for most of the day I guess, Amanda has an 
apointmet to learn how to weave baskets today! Time for a cup of tea 
now. |
