Here we are in Makogai with the game keeper and big clams. This is a
department of Fisheries run clam hatchery. Makogai is also the former
lepper colony for the Pacific. There are many ruins but now covered by
creepers and vines. An island steeped in history and is very interesting.

[status] Double reef in main around 2am, that made things much calmer, were doing crazy 8kn+ speeds and seas a bit bouncy. Life's warming up though, may shed a layer of merino - and take that reef back out. Less than 300nm to the reef pass.
