Friday, August 17, 2007 - High Wind Continues
17 August 2007 | Suwarrow Atoll, Northern Cook Islands

There has been no rain for the past 18 hours but the wind continues to blow hard with gusts up to 35 knots. The seas on the outside of the lagoon are reported to be 10 - 14 ft from the southeast. Several boats are leaving here today so I will be anxious to talk to them on the radio to get a first-hand report on the conditions. The forecast calls for decreasing wind. The wave height will drop a day or two later. I am content to hunker down and wait for better weather as there is no hurry to leave.
All else is well onboard.
