You can't stop the waves, but you can learn to surf.

[status] Yesterday's SSW wind at about 8 knots was just too little and too much from behind to make any progress. We spent the whole day and last night motoring with just 3rd reef main strapped in the middle for stability.
Apart from that, it was a beautiful and restful time. Sunny skies, starry night and nothing to do but lie around, read a book and occasionally scan the horizon.

[status] The anchorage here is just OK at Tetapare. We get some roll when the tide is high as the swell has been up the past couple of days. The diving here is less than spectacular. In fact, I would say it is underwhelming. The outside may be great, but given the swell, it is not workable. We are going to leave today and go to Rendova for some wreck diving. That will be a much better anchorage. Otherwise, all is well aboard.
