The equator party was set for the next night where we all sat and watched the sun go down enjoying all our specially hoarded gourmet treats ( camembert olives etc )and our carefully rationed beer !!! This was the first time we had met Jamie & Dawn off Azzan whom we would spend a fair bit of time with on our way to Tual. A great couple of people and we all enjoyed there company immensely.
There were 3 large fishing villages on this island and they all very friendly and waved as they went by shouting hello mister as they passed with small boats weighted down with all manner of Freight we stayed a couple of days and had to keep moving as we all had an appointment to keep with Cape York
