[status] We are still anchored here by the village. It's been very nice, and the weather overall good. We get afternoon squalls, that cool off the boat. Our plans are to head to Honiara Monday night, and do an overnight motor since there is no favorable wind at this time, and we need to get there prior to Christmas for some last minute shopping. Francis the village chief asked us if we can stay longer, and we can't. He even offered to build us a small hut so we can sleep in the village with their family. Very nice offer, but we just need to get up a little farther north for Christmas. All well onboard. The other two boats - Rehua and Perry - are also planning on leaving soon. Probably today and tomorrow.
