[status] We moved yesterday to a nice village called Iri. We were excited to get to a village and reconnect with the locals. We had a warm welcome ashore yesterday with a bunch of local kids, and they were excited to see Elizabeth and Michael. One of the boys had been bitten by an eel on his foot...so Sarah helped get him some medicine and bandaged up as it was a messy looking wound. They invited us to a fundraiser last night in the village at 8 or 9pm. That was a big late for us, so we told them thanks, but we would see them tomorrow. We are finally getting some wind up here, and actually had a great sail over from Gizo. We sailed the entire way, which was a first in a long time. No engines...just wind...albeit light in the 7-9kts range but on the beam so we managed about 5kts of boat speed.
