Wow, what a truly beautiful location, laid back and in company with three other yachts.
We have enjoyed the Solomons more than Papua New Guinea as we feel safer. There was alot of violence in various places we visited and we had to lock ourselves inside at night to make it difficult. We have heard awful first hand stories of robberies and being tied up, generally along the mainland coast of Papua. Kavieng has had a few issues and petty theft from the dinghy and decks if yachts seems a common occurrence.
Solomon islanders are very friendly they have as much or as little depending on how you look at it as those in New Guinea but seem to have more pride in their appearance and their homes. Maybe more hope...
We are doing well and hitting year 6 and year 1 school work. We are planning to stay around the western province for our three months and then sail back to Australia in May via the Louisaides's, we will be looking for a good weather window and no cyclones!! Ului missed us by about 300nm and made landfall at Airlie Beach. I hope all those we know were safe...
More news as we go...
