Sadly we had to leave the small but perfectly formed Kroko Atol all too
soon. Mili really dug it there... both figuratively and literally!

After hosting a few snap-happy local tourists who had taken a boat to the
Atol and wanted the millionaires yacht shots (unfortunately only our boat
was available) and liberating what turned out to be a very lucky cray, we
set off towards here at Maumare (where we are now anchored off a dive
resort)... Actually, we weren't initially planning to be here today...
After a fairly quick 50nm beam reach day sail from Kroko to N Harding Bay,
sadly the idyllic looking beach there (think deserted, white sand, coconut
palms, jungle, monkeys etc), turned out to have rubbish holding and a
strong onshore wind! After starting to drag towards the reef we decided at
dusk that sleep was unlikely and retreat was the best option. Thus carried
on with a further 50nm night passage to here... going slow as we wanted to
arrive in light.

Anyway, a bit sad to miss N Harding, but the black sand beach here has
already passed the Mili sniff test and Mum and Dad can now sleep soundly
before exploring town later!
