Sept 3 News around the Suwarrow neighborhood:
Ants says this is the worst wind he has seen in the 6 months he has been here. There are 24 boats in the anchorage now, the most Ants has seen since he's been here. The other boats are on the VHF radio discussing with each other the weather forecasts, how there is too much wind to chance getting the dinghy off the deck and into the water for fear it will take flight and how no one is going anywhere and how they were up all night worrying about the anchor dragging, getting snagged in coral or someone else's boat dragging into theirs. We were up all night the first night but now we sleep well because the alarm is working well and our anchor hasn't moved an inch. Barry feels sorry for the birds trying to fly in this wind. 2 people have been injured and called for a doctor and found there are 6 doctors in our fleet of 24 boats. Amazing! We wonder what the social dynamics are that put doctors on boats. So, bottom line, we are in Eden but stuck on the boat for the time being and if we need a doctor we're in the right neighborhood.
