Safe Harbour_Waiting out Cyclone Raquel
01 July 2015 | 9 05.67'S:160 08.65'E, Tulaghi Harbour
Yesterday with the news of an approaching Cyclone we busily changed plans and made way to a place named Tulaghi Harbour. It is a well-protected series of bays and reefs from most directions of weather.
Shortly after our 4pm arrival the Honiara Police boats arrived for the same reason - to weather out the storm. They tied up to the abandoned old fishing wharf while we anchored off with plenty of chain and storm anchor deployed.
It appears the Cyclone Raquel will pass about 100 miles to the west. However, we are still experiencing rain and gusty wind conditions. Please pray this fizzles out and the people will be spared this untimely event.
