Anthem Adrift

Some Fish

18 October 2011

Four days since hopeful last message and finally have new, pre-2005 (huh?), working voltage regulator. Cost a fortune, but at least it's new (huh?). Exhaust parts have not yet left New Zealand. Honda remains a neglected box full of random bits. Valve handle, uncompleted, is being reconsidered. Love it when a plan comes together.

Therefore expect to throw fate to the wind and trust temporary exhaust jury-rig for departure tomorrow toward Malolo Lailai (Musket Cove), Mamanucas and possibly Robinson Crusoe Island farther south for a week cruise before returning here prior to departure for New Zealand end of month. What could possibly go wrong?

In fact, nothing went wrong. How did that happen? Beautiful sail into anchorage at Musket Cove on Malolo Lailai. Met friends, had coffee, explored area, scheduled a dive, made dinner at home, played cribbage and went to bed at 2130. All in all an uneventful day, so why bother to mention? Suggestions will be accepted, but only the odd or quirky ones.

Good to get back in the water, but dives were a bit lame. Some fish. Probably spoiled by Fakarava (as previously noted Cal, this is not naughty). Dive computer watch is a cornucopia of enlightenment... probably. Reading manuals is for sissies.

Extra:	While I will be delighted if anyone else enjoys these excursions into semi-intelligible foolishness, the primary purpose is personal amusement. This is not travelogue, cruising guide or philosophical exploration of anything in particular, merely random musing of a slightly twisted mind. Despite [...] what, to most sane, rational readers, is obtuse verbiage and obscure references, I'm often aware of what I mean and occasionally enjoy a resultant chuckle. Comments section below each entry may be used for those wishing to, oddly enough, comment or just say hello. If you become enraged by anything included herein, writing to express your righteous indignation will be particularly appreciated. Although the unhealthy urge to associate with anyone who can write this stuff should probably not be encouraged (professional help is recommended) an email address has been created for the purpose of providing an additional outlet to express incredulity: "disgraceful.twaddle@gmail.com". Use of this address will continue until it is overwhelmed with spam. If for some recondite reason long-term contact is wished, please request a more permanent, not widely published address. If you wish contact while we're off the grid (this happens with some regularity) request our Sailmail (HF radio) address. Incoming email is warmly solicited, attachments accepted (except on Sailmail). Expect a reply unless otherwise requested. If none forthcoming I have probably messed up so play it again - with feeling. More
