Monday 1st June 2015

Gorgeous Wayag - photo nicked from internet…we did NOT climb the steep hill

Waisai - mooring

Smooth sailing

 WHEW 

We are now back near communication towers and connection with the world. 


We are tied up to a big fat mooring just around the corner from Waisai Town.  It is overcast and it has rained and POURED today, for which we are very thankful.  We will miss the extreme beauty of the islands we have been visiting on our (long…) trip to get here but…we will go back!

Pulau Wayag – mooring
32 metres depth


For the first time in days we have arrived at our destination by lunchtime.  Usually we arrive between 5-6pm, just in time to drop anchor, cook dinner, and collapse.  NOT sure why it is exhausting, crossing this balmy sea, but…it is!

Our wake
So, for once, I have a bit of energy left over to write a bit of bloggery.  There is no internet – we haven’t seen a single boat, let alone a tower, for many days.  But it will all keep, until next we arrive in CyberWorld.


Wayag is a place of extreme beauty.  We are not sure why it is not better known.  We are entirely alone here.  There is a nice big solid mooring in a blissful, glorious, sheltered internal bay, and there are no people for many miles, no other boats to be seen or heard.


The past few days the sea has been as smooth as silk.  We saw one or two boats early on, but for the most part our only companions at sea have been flying fish 

flying fish
and the odd opportunistic bird.


Yesterday we anchored right on the Equator, at Pulau Uta.

Pulau Uta (28th May)
4.3metres – coral


It was yet another beautiful little flat coral island, uninhabited, as far as we could tell.  Did we perform ceremonies to King Neptune??  Well…we had a very nice evening G & T, and a snorkel in the crystal clear water.  Our swim turned into a bit of a battle – there was a deceptively strong current and instead of enjoying the serenity and the beauty, we had to swim swim SWIM just to stay within reach of 2XS.  This morning I washed all of the bed linen – can this be seen as a tribute to King Neptune??  Well yes, I do think so!

One of the few boats we saw was - loaded!
