Yesterday we went
back into Sorong on the narrow long boats.
This time there was no crashing and banging and water sloshing over the side. Thank God!
We had to renew beer supplies – the store cupboard was looking a bit alarming,
in that respect. Now all will be well for
quite a few weeks.

Warren and crew
are ready to leave today, on Four Friends, heading for the Kabui Passage,
Friwin Island, Wayag etc. But they have
to wait… Orielle, Philip's English girlfriend, has just arrived. It took her twenty four hours to fly here from
Singapore…There was an unholy mix-up and delay in Djakarta. She had no idea why, but she thinks there was
something about a volcano eruption and dust in the air. Maybe.
She never knew why her plane didn’t fly, and then it did. She is a resilient girl so she didn’t really
mind. What she did mind was that her luggage
didn’t arrive with her… It will probably turn up at some stage. But she doesn’t know if she will still want it
because…it is full of perishable food, which had been carefully chilled before she
left Singapore. Many kilos of bacon, for
example…

Today will be
another DoomDay… Pete has work to do on his computer and…well why not??
