Just a quick stop to say Hi! We are having a wonderful time. A friend, Pentalo, we met here, who manages the bank, and was introduced to us by Yoshi, lent us his motorbike for the day. In turn, we took his boy out to the boat and fed him chocolate and let him drive the dinghy.

There were two boats here for a couple of days, Soggy Paws and Challenger. Very nice people and we enjoyed an evening out with them plus the requisite evening happy hour that we yachties enjoy so much. They have since pressed on northward, and we hope to run into them again. Meanwhile, we have the country to ourselves for a while.

Today, we bought fuel at the main big ship wharf. We took 7 jerry cans in the dinghy. The Port Manager, a very helpful woman named Vasa, took us and the jugs in her car to the depot for filling. Thank you! Later in the day, we still had two more jugs to fill. We walked to the depot, but thanks to Yoshi's amazing diplomatic skills, the local policeman drove us and the jugs back to the dinghy - in the police car!. Thank you again.

We love it here, and thank the entire country for letting us be their guests. Tonight, we have dinner reservations at a local guest house.
