At the moment Mike and June,KF4TUG, are anchoring and building up their
stocks in Honiara the capital of the Solomon Islands. During his stay
in Temotu he had almost no sunshine and much bad wx working as H40MY.
June got a skin irritation but luckily she was treated by the doctor of
a group of scientists from French New Caledonia which happened to stay
on Vanikoro at the same time. In the Pacific region there is typhoon
season now (Oct/Nov until Mar/Apr) and most of the sailors stay in the
safe harbour during this time. Last weekend Mike thought about of going
to Pohnpei (OC-010) including a stopover in Ontong Java (OC-192) from
where he may show up as H44MY. His position can be tracked online at:
