Anchored at Samarai. Failed to leave as some nasty wind and heavy rain predicted for arrival in Woodlark. Now planning a Sunday morning departure. Forced to enjoy local life and lovely snorkeling whilst waiting. Haven't checked in by radio as 5:15am a tad early for us when not on watch!

Great to hear your voice on the radio, we will keep in touch and keep an eye on you. We are in Tonga again and working on the radar so we can dash further North East if it all works out. Enjoy, talk later.
