| 10/07-15 0800  Set sail for Waya. (40 Nm). Due to wind direction we decided to go to the northern shore.1600 Arrived at Waya north, dropped anchor, out with the dingy, grabbed some kava and some fish and hit for the village. The chief met us on the beach, and took us to his hut were we had a cava sermon. We ended up drinking kava and telling stories until it was rather late, and the low tide made it difficult to leave the village. The chief proclaimed us members of his family, and asked us to sleep over. I do not like leaving the boat over night, and he sent one of his sons to help us through the reefs. We had to promise we were coming back. |
