Dear All,
A quiet 24 hours following a day of jubilation and
celebration over finding the rope stripper for the stbd sheet winch. We took
Keith, Ian and Bill off "Investigator IV" a batch of toffee crisps as a thank
you - we figured that a bottle nof wine or malt would just disappear into the
rather large fridge with the rest of the enormous quantities of grog they
already have onboard! We look forward to catching up with them again at Bwagoia
on the weekend.
Today the girls had a busy day of school. As the
day has progressed the wind has strengthened such that we were obliged to
mnove to a more secure and comfortable anchorage for the night. It has also been
good for victualling as we have been able to replenish some supplies of fresh
fruit through trading with the locals.
Tomorrow we will depart here reasonably early for
Kamuta Island, which is onlt 8-10nm from Bwagoia. That will allow us to get in
at a reasonable time on Friday to do some shopping, get some Kina from the bank,
grab some outboard/generator fuel and get rafted up for the weekend. Sounds like
a busy and social time ahead!
Until tomorrow, TTFN
Chris
