[status] The weather has been typical of the past month or so. We get sun, clouds, and a squall or two during the day. It's been cool with the breeze, and generally nice. The outside of the reef was very interesting. We had a large squall line approach, so we decided to keep the snorkeling short and head back just in case we got hammered, as we didn't want to leave the boat unattended out here.

[status] Report at 1640 WST. Motored across to Melomys Island this morning from Raft Point. Arrived at low tide, now its around high tide and the place looks very different; the mudflats have disappeared under water. Felt cold this morning, minimum temperature down to 22 degrees. Had a visit from the Fisheries Department this afternoon and enjoyed their company.
