[status] It was a good day yesterday as we got settled into our new anchorage here in Munda. We spent some time ashore exploring the WWII artifacts. The locals told us they killed a 3-4m croc in the bay two days ago. Yikes. That was a big one, and not far from where we are anchored. So, we will be extra vigilant regarding swimming. Hard to see a croc when they can spent 2 hours underwater waiting for their target. :) Plan is to do some diving. Behind our boat there is a Japanese bomber that was shot down during WWII. It was thought to be the bomber that was sent in to rescue the stranded Japanese pilots after the US Marine invasion. Regardless, the bomber is in 15m of water, and somewhere behind our boat according to the locals. So, we will go and see if we can get more info and do a dive or two. There is an American plane crash on the island not far behind us as well...so we may check that one as too.
