8 April Veymandhoo

02 11.29N 073 05.30E 7.5m sand / multiple bommies
musical welcome
Today was a gentle sail from the north to the south of the atoll. On the way we caught a skipjack tuna which became sashimi and lighlty seared steaks for dinner.
In Veymandhoo we joined up with the rest of the rally boats which had been travelling through the eastern side of the atolls. The channel in to the lagoon is narrow and shallow. One catamaran, Hokule'a is 10m wide and had to turn away to find another anchor spot on the next atoll. A Lagoon catamaran fitted without problem. Inside we laid our anchor between bommies but got caught and David had to dive to lift the chain clear.


can I tell you a joke?
that's awful

and I'm leaving

There was a rally welcoming ceremony with coconuts for all and a performance of drumming and singing followed by a walk around the village to meet the residents.
