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.
