Wow - that was a windy night. Our anchorage isn't very protected and these winds were gusting over 60 km/hr. We took turns getting up to make sure we were still where we were supposed to be, which of course leads to a bit of a tired day ahead. By late morning we were off in the dinghy to explore different part of Solomons Island - the Calvert Marine Museum. For a small place the museum is really very good. One of the first rooms had a full scale skeleton of a huge extinct Megatooth shark which was quite scary for Christopher the adventurer. After strategically avoiding the shark he finally ventured in under the protection of the camera. Later with the help of one of the staff he found a shark tooth in the fossil sand pit, which was labeled and kept as a prize catch.
After the visit and a few groceries it was a sunny dinghy ride "home". Our anchor neighbours Kathy and Darius invited us over for drinks and snacks. Always good to hang out and exchange stories of anchors, wiring and other facinating topics - if you live on a boat!

I finally got the link to your blog from my parents - what a great read and great pictures (Christopher has really become quite the photographer)! Now I'm anxious to read the next post after catching up on 2 months of adventure in an hour! Glad to see that everything is going so well.
Everything is good with us out west here - still waiting on Houston news (as I'm sure my parents have mentioned) - if we end up moving we would really hope to meet up with you guys down south somewhere!
Happy sailing!
Matt, Andrea (& Mojo)
