Nothing for weeks. We have hTomorrow is looking to to head to PNG, long range (week out) looks like […]
08*07′.009S/157*06′.681E, we were here a week or so ago, this is where we met the guys that were our boat guards in Gizo. One of them came by tonight to visit. He brought me a thing for my hair he had carved. Some young girls paddled out with flowers, I have bird of paradise, orchids
