... till you run aground ...
well we did !
yesterday - on a calm and beautiful day at lower tide then expected - we hit the ground - actually the mud and 45 minutes later with an incoming tide we where off again - so there it is - we ran aground - we sat it out and we recovered - thanks to the moon ;-)
the rain falls must have filled the riverbed with runoffs which aided in our stoppage.
we also calibrated everything on all instruments including the "depth sounder"
;-)
next week finally off to Fiji ..
