Blue Moon robbed in MUnda

Hi all,

Bad news from Blue Moon.

We arrived in Munda the Tuesday after Easter and wednesday morning at 2am we were broken into while anchored off Agnes resort. A place we were advised was safe as the resort encourages yachties to share the facilities and has security guards who are monitoring the resort will flash torches regularly around the bay and anchored yachts.

They got past the door and screen which were in. We cannot remove these without making a noise and took our mobile phone, camera, the kids portable dvd player, torch, bag, money, phone and wifi recharge cards.

Big bummer! Offered reward as everyone knows who broke in as they have had a spate of breakins locally but because of the wontok system and the fact the kids involved are under prison age. Nothing can be done or nobody will
arrest them. Yet. Very frustrating. The bag upsets me as it is irreplacable (made by a friend in the Hermit islands PNG), the dvd player is a pest as the kids love it and it is useful on passage making. The phone has been replaced with a new cheap Nokia bought at Telekom here in the Solomons, Hopefully it will work in Australia, it was only $50 and they gave me back the same number with its credit unused!! + 67-7430107

I have never been broken into before and feel unsafe when i sleep at night so don't sleep well. Time will heal and i guess we weren't confronted by men
with machettes and tied up like other breakins we have heard of first hand in PNG.

My problems are nothing compared to the adventures from other yachts. Two
dismastings, one in the pacific one in the indian ocean, a tow up the red sea and various break downs. The worst news was the dismasting by friends - Twin Image who we met in Kavieng. Alone in the north pacific just north of
Guam, the rig crashed to the deck in the middle of the night 120nm NW of
Saipan. The front forebeam broken and everything in shambles.

I don't want to go through that......

Hugs to all, we're all healthy. Hope you are too.....
