We must free ourselves of the hope that the sea will ever rest. We must learn to sail in high winds.

[status] We are anchored in Sorong off Doom Island. We will clear into Indonesia tomorrow morning, and pick up my mom who is flying in on Tuesday morning before final provisioning and heading off to Raja Ampat. We are excited to check out the provisioning and town. There is a lot to do here so we should be busy for several days.
