[s]This morning we started with the plan to motor a short distance to the East Lagoon anchorage off Uliveo (16 deg 32.17 S, 167 deg 50.20 E). We had intended to meet the Chief and headmaster, Jack. This was described as a 10 metre anchorage in the Rocket Guide but we aborted when we found a 2.1 metre depth with rolly conditions. Everything happens for a reason as we instead dropped our anchor in 8 metres at the beautiful Gaspard Bay. We were greeted by two dugongs who have regularly surfaced and then waved their tails as they dived back down. No internet so photos will have to follow. All very happy and well aboard.[END]
If you want to build a ship, don't drum up people to collect wood and don't assign them tasks and work, but rather teach them to long for the endless immensity of the sea.
