It was a GREAT day today. We had sun most of the day, and so far not a drop of rain. I am sure that will probably change in the future, but we'll take the nice day for sure. We spent three hours

We spent the night here at Wilsons Bay. The locals have been very nice. They told us the last yacht that came here was over two years ago...so needless to say we had a number of visitors. When we

We left Tetapare and sailed to Munda yesterday. It was actually a motor/sail but all was OK and the seas calm. We will be here in Munda for about a week before departing for Noro and then checking

The anchorage here is just OK at Tetapare. We get some roll when the tide is high as the swell has been up the past couple of days. The diving here is less than spectacular. In fact, I would say
