[status] Still in Big Bay and expecting to be here for several more days while the wind continues to blow. If we don't get a substantial break in the weather we may miss our opportunity to get to the Bank Islands. Contingency planning for a departure to Australia from here has begun. All is very comfortable in the Bay but we don't have any internet connectivity. It is a public holiday (Constitution Day, it was signed in 1979) so it is very quiet today. Tomorrow the small boat traffic will resume with the over-the-shore logistics supply to the NW of Santo. The road (dirt track) stops here. Everything north and west relies on small boats for resupply.

[weather) 15kt SE (in the bay), 0m swell, 10% cloud, 1014 baro
