we're still anchored here in the
beautiful Uligan.
We went ashore yesterday and were given the guided tour
by Imad, our agent here. if you want to cruise the islands, you have to have an
agent who is responsible for you throughout your stay in the maldives. we saw
the school, the football pitch, the 2 shops, the official offices including the
magistrates court and met the local judge who usually only has things to do like
officiate at marriages and other legal affairs rather than pass sentence on any
crimes. we were shown the clinic which over-sees 4-6 births each year and 3-5
deaths. the place is spotlessly clean - you have to keep the area in front of
your house or building clean and tidy - take note india - see how simple it can
be.
Terry went out with his spear gun this morning for the
first time, but couldn't even get the thing to fire! fortunately Matt on Island
Time managed to get a couple for our supper tonight. Roam II will be providing
coleslaw and potatoes - not quite the hunter image we'd hoped for.
we'll probably be leaving here monday heading south for
the Hideaway Resort if they will let us use their
buoy.
