Hello All,
We are anchored in Tapana anchorage this morning. We made it over here yesterday afternoon after visiting a little Island that has a tomb of a princess from eons ago. The anchorage for the Island was exposed and with poor holding of coral heads and coral sand it is only good for a few hours. We went to the beach and found the trail that winds up to the top of the mountain, which is only about 300 feet tall and found the tomb. I don't know the history of the princess but it has been hundreds of years I am sure. Just past the tomb there was a lookout to see all of the surrounding bays and Islands. I wished it was a nicer day but I got some good pictures none the less.
After returning to the boat we made some lunch and then headed for Tapana anchorage. This bay is very protected from SE winds so it was just what we were looking for. There is also a restaurant here that is run by a Spanish couple. They are very well known in the area so after arriving we took the dingy over to say hello. They were cruisers that came through here back in the 80's and loved it so much they never left and opened a restaurant to cater to the cruisers and tourists. We visited a few hours and they enjoyed talking to Jon in Spanish. We also ran into 2 of the crew from Nirvana there. Amya the 1st mate came over with the boats mechanic yesterday morning to look at a broken generator and ended up spending all day there.
The weather here is still not that great so I will hope it clears enough to make it to the other anchorage.
For now we will be hanging out here and do some exploring so I will talk to you soon.
PEACE
