April 22nd
Funnily enough, after changing an engine the KUNA managed to be only 6 days late form the original charter schedule (14 Apr), but now everything else is slowing her down!!! Next is stop is the village of Kukundu, on the Island of Kolombangara, a huge volcano most often covered in rainy clouds. That's where the bat colony is located, behind the Adventists mission. Talking to the local carvers (who paddled their canoes from there to Gizo) there seem to be an anchorage, but it's not very well charted. Today, a nice South Easterly is blowing and it would be a lovely 2 hours sail! Fingers crossed scientist and cameras do arrive! Still wondering how we are going to get the producer too!!
