Departing

24 September 2023
Stephen and Kristina Hall
The custom's officer has been here, we have cleared out.
We had a small uproar early this morning. We tied along side customs dock and found out, that the water at low tide would be 1,4m today. With Torea's draught of 2m way too little. But we couldn't just move - permission from customs was needed. Until it was confirmed with the marina, the depth sounder said that there was only 2,1 m. Last minute we were able to move - otherwise we would have been stuck in the mud...
Now, Steve takes the fenders onboard and off it goes towards Micronesia.
