Got in a couple of hours ago after a bit of a struggle getting through the
pass, at one point we were max chat and doing 0.8kt over the ground with
coral reefs on either side of us (the pass at that poiunt about 75 metres
wide. Anyway, anchored on the third attempt then a friendly local came
over and said 'don't anchor there in this wind, anchor off the hotel where
it says not to anchor because of wires and pipes, but I know where they
are ' (he said this in french of course. So we and the other two boats
already here upped and moved and very pleasant it is to BUT we've found
out that to buy a case of beer is US$90!!!!!
Anyway, in the process of uploading a new video onto facebook, you have
been warned.
