A ship in harbor is safe, but that is not what ships are built for.

[status] Leaving Suva in less than an hour. Customs computer down yesterday so allowed to leave today with much better wind angle. And a less auspicious date, not that we are superstitious, however we are afraid of Murphy.
4POB. All is well except that Mark lost last night's card game.
