[status]We took a tour in Legacy of Port Adventure yesterday and ended up in the Heron River for the night. Nice spot. We?re anchored in a small, deep hole (7 meters deep) and tied to a tree on shore.

?Did you get more Paua?? you ask. Why, yes we did. This time, just wading ankle deep at the rocky end of a beach. ?Haven?t you had enough yet?? you ask. NO! For us, there?s no such thing as enough, and there are plenty here.

[s] A lovely time at Enejelar village again seeing friends from our 2017 visit. Now back in front of the main Ailuk village (population approx 200) for a feast with Anious and Emily. We saw the pig for the feast being loaded into a sailing canoe yesterday at Enejalar - not a happy sailing pig.

[status]We moved to a nice anchorage in Port Adventure that?s called Abraham?s Bosom or Redsand Cove depending on where we look. There?s a mooring buoy in the middle of the most ideal anchorage area but there?s still room around the edges.

A tale of two abalone:

[status] Day 7 underway to Caribbean/Bahamas. More wind today and faster speed, but of course the seas are up a bit too, so it's less comfortable. But, we're quite happy with this amount of wind, and the discomfort is quite tolerable. Happy Birthday to Jan's Dad who watches over us from above - he would have been 90 today. 3958 miles to go - we're under 4000 now - woo hoo! All is well.
