[status] We started off with a couple of email alerts regarding the Chile earthquake. Fortunately no Tsunami warnings for here. We are still in the same spot. We met some more locals today, who fish and garden on this deserted island. They were very friendly, and one guy brought over lots of cucumbers and capsicum for trade. It is nice to get some interaction with the locals. We had a couple of dives, one was 1:37 minutes. It was back over at Grand Central Station. Lots of fish, but the viz was not as good as a couple of days ago. We did a second dive with the kids. We called the dive a scorkel because it was on the hookah and in 3m of water. We need to move soon to get some 3G to finalize shipping a couple more items here to the Solomons from Australia...so we may depart later today.
