[status]We arrived to Ulithi - Magnog island - yesterday around 2pm. It was an OK motor/sail most of the way. We received a warm welcome as we arrived. The chief had a VHF radio, and called us upon arrival. We were not sure if it was going to be a good welcome at first as we have already cleared out of the country. It was no problem. He was happy to have us and told us we could stay as long as we wanted. They are a traditional village here, like others in Micronesia. No cellular, no wifi, just SSB radio for weather and communication. Everyone wears the traditional outfits, bottoms only, men and women. We will be here waiting out the next low, to see what happens. Hopefully it will be a miss (and we don?t have to sail back to Yap), and we can ride the back up to Guam. That is our plan, we?ll keep YIT updated.
