[status] Still in Fulaga, but reanchored near the village again for better protection from wind and fetch AND to attend the youth rally at the village today, which is supposed to include a volleyball tournament.

[weather] We are in a fairly protected spot, and currently we have 10-15 kts with gusts up in the low and even mid 20s. 100% cloud cover. Yesterday, our beautiful morning deteriorated just like the forecast said it would. By late morning we had a downpour of rain, which lasted until about noon and since then it's been light rain and drizzle. Also, yesterday afternoon the wind picked up, and we saw 25 kts sustained as we crossed the lagoon to reanchor, and from our current anchorage in the late afternoon/evening, we saw 20-25 kts with gusts up to 30.

The cabin of a small yacht is truly a wonderful thing; not only will it shelter you from a tempest, but from the other troubles in life, it is a safe retreat.
