[status] We just arrived to Roderick Bay on the Florida Islands yesterday afternoon from Honiara. It was an easy motor, dead calm, and unfortunately no fish. We were very happy to be leaving Honiara. It was very poor for comfort. In fact, it was the most uncomfortable anchorage we have ever been in fives years of cruising. It's great for convenience as it is easy to provision....but painful for comfort. This time of year it's calm, but the squalls really kick up the sea and blow 25kts. It makes the sea very uncomfortable when they are coming from the E, NE. From a security perspective it was fine. We've heard mixed reviews from others over the years about potential issues. The problems seem to be people leaving stuff on deck, and making it too easy for someone in a canoe to grab and go. Clear the decks, lock up at night, and know you are in a city. Simple stuff.
[weather] dead calm, mostly sunny this morning, 26 degrees outside, 1008 baro
