Anchored at Roi-Namur off Red Beach at the US Army Base. The storm forecasted for the northern Marshall Islands is upon us. We are glad we made the trip down from Rongerik where there is little protection to this more protected place. The storm is passing us well to the east, so we so we are not getting it's full force. We are in the lee of the Kwajelain Atoll with winds overnight to 45kts here. Anchored in deep white sand with good holding. We have anchored here several times before on our previous visits to the base. s/v Apolima is in sight anchored 2.5nm south of us at "3rd" Island and is doing fine. We expect the storm to move past us later today on its way to Rongelap/Rongerik Atolls. All is well aboard.

Moved to Taroa Island On Maleolap Atoll. Going to dive the WW2 wreck of the Terashima Maru this morning. Still have these these unusual westerly winds, thankfully the are light or the fetch would be very uncomfortable.

Anchored at Airik Island, Maleolap Atoll. Yet another warm and sunny day. New solar panels are keeping far ahead of our power consumption, even with two visitors on board (Gingers parents). Haven't run the gen-set in since the solar installation except to make water.

Moored at Enemonet Island in the Majuro Lagoon. Enjoying this lovely calm bay doing some boat maintenance. Preparing for the arrival of our new solar panels. 1300 watts worth!

Preparing to depart our Majuro Mooring for the Enigu Island. Lagoon very choppy with West Winds.

On our mooring in Majuro. Yachties Night Out at the MIR last night, Team s/v Seal & Viadante took the cash at Quiz night. The US Post Office was glad to see us yesterday, to free up some shelf space where our packages were being stored. All well on board.

Moved inside Rongelap Lagoon to this gorgeous nearly 360 protected anchorage: Tufa Island. Mark1 eyeball nav the last nm. White sand beaches with lots of coconuts and beautiful reefs & bommies. This may be paradise found. Caught a Rainbow Runner on the way over! No one lives in this paradise, hard to believe. NASA rocket launch tonight from Kwajalein, should have excellent seats.

Moved inside the lagoon to Rongelap Island, the main habitation for this atoll. Anchored off the municipal dock. Population about 30-40 workers building new homes for the former displaced inhabitants.
