[status] We had a warm welcome from the village when we arrived to Mbili. Everyone was excited to see us. The Paramount chief - Lutan - was the first to greet us ashore with a big smile and hugs for the kids. He said we were part of his family, and we could dive all we wanted for no fees. He also asked about s/v Perry, and where they were. We told them we thought they were in Munda, getting ready to check out for PNG. We also have three fiberglass boats to repair, as people slowly came up to us and asked if we still had supplies to fix boats. We stocked up on resin and matting, so we are good to go and begin on the first boat this morning.
